We are getting IT parks in Tier II cities which will put them in the International map. I am sure it will increase the prosperity for the people with more jobs , good / better roads and telecom facilities. As an Offshoot of this, The real estate prices are going to skyrocket ( I know already it is very high) and the financial institutions facilitating the loans are going to be very busy
Will Trichy with its modest infrastructure be able to handle this pressure ? Let’s sure hope so.

the best place to locate this tidal park will be the pachamalai hills – seventy five minutes from trichy via woraiyur. the place is cool and pretty sitting at 3000 ft above sea level. there is plenty of land with good scenic views. its well connected by roads. why not consider it?

Dear Prakash for what reason you arsking to know the exact spot of IT park in Trichy,It is true in Navelpattu IT park is coming,but I heard OFT had clam against this to keep security to their palce,but I have Collector accepting letter for It.
If you likre to buy some land I can arrange Presently I have 2 acre land and 4000 SF plot.
If you need to conduct you can send a mail to me to merjoe.cr@gmail.com
March 11, 2007 at 1:33 AM
Geetha,
I am planning to buy a plot at gundur. Could you please let me know if you still have the plot. My brother owns a plot. As of last September the price was 1.5 lakhs per plot.
Indu
March 11, 2007 at 5:02 PM
Indu
I received the follwing email. Do you believe it?
Residential plots sizes are 40 x 60 ( 2400 Sq Feet) , North (2) / South (2) Facing just opposite to the IT Park less than 150 feet from the 120 Feet existing road.
Approx distance:
Airport: 3Kms
Bustand: 8Kms
Junction: 7Kms
Geetha
Expected Price: Rs.550/Sq.Feet (Slightly Negotiable)
March 12, 2007 at 2:26 AM
Geetha,
I saw your message. People have turned from Greediness to gluttiness and the very same gluttiness has resulted into end of the roman empire. I too have few plots around the same area. But I am keeping for my personal use. But I wouldn’t recommend anyone to pay 550/sqft for that place. Madness with morbidity 🙂
Maran
March 12, 2007 at 3:23 AM
It would be at least another year to see that price. Right now,even 1 lakh per ground maybe on the higher side, depending on how close it is to the main road. But its the hype that could make the price to spike sooner than one would expect. Some of the sites to check are 99acres.com. I also read few reasons why Tiruchy real estate has a big potential from Tiruchy.com. No matter what, my experience has always been going to the actual place in person and talk to localities if you are going to put your hard earned money. It is great to have these websites to save someone from making a huge mistake.
March 12, 2007 at 12:56 PM
It is good to rcv the comments as mentioned. I also hv been offered rates in that range. But decided to settle for another location rather than to invest and wait fr a decade.

I can plan accordingly…

Please provide the details.
Thanks,

Hello friends,
I’m Prem Kumar doing final year computer science & engg.
It’s very interesting to see more new informations about our city. Since Trichy is a vibrant city it could grab more investments in all the aspects. Well, HCL, TCS and WIPRO were the bigshots looking to enter the Trichy IT market. I hope the city will become an important centre for Industrial investment.
March 18, 2007 at 12:57 AM
I got a shocking news from a reliable information that the state govenrment is planning to have the tidel park near 6 lane national highway and not near navalpattu. Does anyone want to share your ideas if you heard the same information? I feel very sad the opportunity is slipping away from myhand.
Maran.
March 18, 2007 at 9:41 AM
Hi, as far as I know personally, think, it could be an expansion of the existing proposed IT related projects at Navalpattu, as well as, panchappur, since, hearing lot of news through various media, on the keen interest shown by various IT companies to Trichy, next to Chennai&Bangalore, in view of world class infrastructure projects being undertaken by the centre&state governments, particularly, on highway road projects – branching out at least 8 in nos. from Trichy non-metro city, keeness of various International&Domestic airlines to operate out of Trichy airport to both International&Domestic destinations, Raiway projects on the conversion to BG, thus, connecting most of India directly, high level instituitions – churning out thousands of young talented graduates yearly, low cost living standard in comparison to metro cities, and many more other macro economic effects contributing in setting up IT companies at TRICHY.
Therefore, only “other means” could spoilt the above whole lot, which I pray&hope, will never ever happen throughout. Vazga Tiruchian & Trichy.
March 26, 2007 at 1:54 AM
Alright the madness started and no one is going to listen to it until they fall pray. Let me sit and watch happily to see how many loose money. Anyway it is not difficult to find gullible people around who easily come by and throw their hard earned money. Please save a bit for your next day meal before throwing everything into a black hole 🙂

April 8, 2007 at 3:24 AM
Dear Folks,
I see same person or vested interests are repeatedly giving false info about the Navalpattu Site. There is a sty order on this plan. If you don’t believe me, please take your risk and buy. Any way I amnot god to stop you from throwing your money into gutter. The price appreciation cycle has cometo the peak. It is time for price stability and market correction. When market corrects there will be a panic and people are already selling the same plot in these area to multiple persons. This seems to be nasty site where vultures looking for innocent people’s money. I am not going to be part of this ditch any more.
Congratulations land owners and
God bless you prospective buyers.
Jimmy.
April 9, 2007 at 11:51 AM
it park in navalpattu more or less finalised. I think it will be good to buy plots at Rs. 100 -150 / sq ft.. in the near by areas, as your money will b safe even if it park does not come.
April 10, 2007 at 4:49 PM
Srileka, are you living on this planet. Already the govt finalised the site for IT Park and waiting for foundation stone ceremony by Chief minister. If you have any doubts still you can talk to that ELCOT director, Uma Sankar.
Guys can check the Daily Thanthi paper on Last Sunday , there is an article like ” Thozhil Thuraiyil Thamizhagathin Nuzhaivu vaayil aagirathu Trichy” on page 37. Trichy Collector confirmed that the basic infrastructure works will be started very soon.
Once that ceremony function happened then the prices will soar like anything. If you have a plan to buy ,better finish the deal before that. But one important thing is , make sure that for clear title , you can get an advocate and check in sub-registrar office for the clear title (villangam).
As for my knowledge, currently the Roadside plots are going for Rs 500/SF .
Wish u all the best…..
April 11, 2007 at 5:46 AM
I can’t believe that guys in here are willing to spend a fortune on property simply based on speculations. Media in india are as unreliable as a trio in poker!
And i refuse to believe inspite of all the assurances that an IT park drives the value of property. It is the infrastructure and NOT the establishments that should determine the realty growth.
If people like you continue to believe that an IT park would eventually ensure a sound infrastructure in a country like india then you are only determined to make a fool of yourself! Go get a life elsewhere and invest your hard earned money in a country where a certain “System” exists.
Finally, for god’s sake STOP speculating on the property value! You are only sending out wrong signals to those greedy morons waiting to mint money at your agony!!
April 11, 2007 at 8:36 AM

This is not the place to make bussiness in real estate…
There are so many ways to make bussiness ..
So.. Now onwards, pls stop to do bussiness on speculation… Try to give some valuable information to our guys…
April 11, 2007 at 4:40 PM
This Guy Whistle doesn’t understand the real world scenario and talk like an IDEAL person. Couple of years back there was NO much scope for lands around Sholinganallur , even still now looks more of like a village but have you heard the prices in that area now?.
This price hike only because of the IT corridor, nothing like INFRASTRUCTURE that you mentioned. The infrastructure SHOULD be provided by the Govt to all the SEZ (Specilaized Economic Zone).
If you think and think for sometime and finally oneday you decided to buy a land near IT park , that day the price reached 10 times.
In this fast world this is the way it is working and you should be adaptable to that instead of just talking in a very honest manner.
April 11, 2007 at 5:13 PM
I agree with AdviceFromGuest , people have experienced the property price hike in Bangalore, Chennai , Coimbatore. ( 300 to 600 % in the last 3 Years)
Currently the hot places for investments are Madurai , Trichy , Nanguneri and Sriperambathur for middle class people like us.
Current Government is taking extreme measures to bring huge investments from Automobile/Semi-Conductor/Electronics and IT Companies to Tamil Nadu, government will provide the infrastructure to facilitate the companies.
We have to act smart and invest our Hard earned money and reap some benefits (much much better than the existing Bank Interest rates) .

April 16, 2007 at 4:34 AM
Ram, just goes to show you are a NAIVE GREEDY indian who is ONLY interested in watching the value of your property grow.
Before i answer your question, here is a few on which you should ponder over:
Can u drive in bangalore on any given week day from point A to B in a reaosnable amount of time?
Does your city have appropriate road network, lightining and basic hygienic sewage system?
Do u conciously feel that your city has adequate aiport infrastructure, rail and road links in the first place?
My comments were linked to the impact of overall quality of living to the infrastrucuture and hence a suggestion not to speculate. Your assumption that “this implies this” isn’t REALITY mate!
Finally, Your comments “No-one can predict the development….” only goes to show that you are one of those living with an beggaring attitude!
April 16, 2007 at 4:50 AM
Hi..Guys..
It’s interesting… Hi..Ram..keep giving some interesting link like this..
April 16, 2007 at 12:40 PM
Looks like it is slowing down now . No IT company has officially comitted to have the office space or land in the the ELCOT , it might be true that the place will be moved to some other location in Trichy. Also there seems to be a slow down in the entire IT industries now ,,, and IT companies might not invest anything new

Hi Gentlemen,

http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2007/03/30/stories/2007033001232100.htm
April 17, 2007 at 6:41 AM
Well, I have no clue how to drive the point here?! The real danger that i see after reading through most postings here is that india deems to believe in its own hype.
Most of you who speculate are blogging here only coz of the “growth story” generated by the Indian IT and ITES. The service based industry is directly related to providing services to developed nations in the west. A slowdown in the west’s economy(notably the US’s right now) can cause a downturn in the growth back home as well! Once the slow growth becomes noticeable, the IT/ITES will show no mercy to cut operating cost in order to show a healthiser balance sheet(to sustain the performance of their stocks). This could mean many of you losing your jobs!The South east asian economy’s failure after a great surge in the 90’s is a remarkable example.
Now, in order for india to have a sustainable growth which is the only way to uplift the millions of poor, the economy should diversify to manufacturing, health care, toursim etc.. and stay inline with the west. This would ensure that the economy is not entirely reliant on other countries. For such a growth, a sound BASIC EDUCATION system and INFRASTRUCTURE should be in place. Now, many of you might argue that india is moving forward in many other growth segments, but the fact of the matter is lack of infrastructure has become a serious bottleneck. Surely, you can’t deny that as the country’s prime minister candidly admits to it than most of you people posting comments in here!
All the links that you post in here are from the indian media reporting on contents presented and not necessarily that will take-off. There are plenty of examples where Indian government never really committs in reality as much as it does on paper. The most recent one is the “SEZ’s” which are currently being downsized pissing off all the major capital investment companies of the country. Yesterday, the mangement of Reliance openly criticized the government for lack of vision!
Bottomline, any growth is suspectible to hard landing but what i have been repeatedly criticisizing is the lack of conviction by the system and the governments to appropriately use this current growth to create a vision for future. Afterall, a repeat of the bubble burst in south east asia can also happen to india.
P.S: Posting links appears to fancy many individual’s imagination. So here is a few that lights the other side of the coin.

after reading all your posts i feel. how people are thinking. even though investments are going . people are going greedy for money and self satisfaction. have you ever thought what you have for trichy. all have thought of coming down to trichy (back in mind) if it goes to potential and rest peacefully. you have gone out of this place and thiking of it. i have come out of this place and settled now in trichy . i am very happy that you all have gone out. you never deserve a place in trichy until you really want to do something for trichy which is your so called place.
don’t ask what is the development going. be the part of development that can happen only when you all come here to see this place grow. (we know what govt does are plan thru media only) if we wish we can join hands and bring thoughts to implementation for the good of the future generations.
just IT parks and Buildings are not enough. Spiritual guidelines and traditional values are important. if its taken out just concrete jungles will come. just imagine what is the future of chennai,bangalore after 20 years. they will kill the neighbours for water,land, air(its already happening).
think and speak. give some thing before you think of grabbing.

SEZ is coming up in perambalur and IT park in Trichy. Hope these get a big push from the new IT minister.
May 18, 2007 at 6:08 AM
Hello Trichy fan,
Keep it in mind that Chennai is far far behind in infrastructure unto 1997. The infrastructure of the metro city has been developed only due to the over crowding of industries. The infrastructure is not provided before the industries enters into the city.. The first IT company started its operation in Chennai was iGate and Accenture in Bangalore. Then only the corporation and the govt. evinced interest to enhance the infrastructure in Public-Private Partnership. So, infrastructure is not the problem for our city, but the neglegence of state and central representatives. I’m sure that Mr.A.Raja force the govt. to improve his constituency (Perambalur) and not Trichy.

who said infrastructure of chennai is far far behind in 1997? Its infrastructure is too good right from british govt period. Bangalore too get its infrastructure developed way back in 1950s or 1960s. it is developed by defence of india. you know jayanagar, indiranagar, malleswaram was even before the so called IT industry. only koramangala is developed after the invasion of IT industries
Trichy which is already smaller can you compare it with bangalore and chennai? please come here and see the road condition of thillainagar,sastri road, uraiyur, puthur etc. only cantonment area looks like city. kk nagar is somewhat ok. all are encroached roads. thats what i said trichy is far far behind.
you can even compare to infrastructure of chennai in 97 to current trichy’s one. it is still way behind.
dude, before guessing out something and buying a piece of land in particular area and giving hype will set wrong example. i wont say IT wont come to our city. it might come. we have to welcome even agri industry also. our city should not depend on only on industry.
u r right that political backing is not for our city. thats a sad state. hope the new minister will improve trichy. even perambalur develops, the nearest airport is trichy only. by that way our city will develop for sure.

Mr.Trichy fan,
Keep it in mind that in 1953, the chinese industries minister came to chennai, then cabinet minister M.Karunanidhi indicated that the slum areas in chennai and other areas were covered using tar-paulins in order to hide it from the eyes of that foriegn minister. Only mumbai and delhi were the 2 cities in INDIA which were developed. This incident was written in the book called ‘Tamil Arasu’, a monthly report of secrateriat.
May 29, 2007 at 12:32 PM
I have been following on the proposed IT park news for sometime..for investors who want to make fast money, please do some reality check before falling prey to real estate agents postings or postings of people who have vested interest in promoting the navalpattu area.
1. IT park will not come in 2 -4 years time..may be it will take long time like 7-9 years to come to trichy..but then whether it will come depends on lots of factors like US economy, infrastructure to name a few
2.Govt will change and so does the policy ..location might also change..only the site has been identified ..theer is no single brick which has been laid.so it is more of hype than reality..
3.Remember that navalpattu started hitting the news only after it had been bought adequatley well by ruling party people so that they cash out at a later stage when the hype is really hot
4.as of 29 th may the property price is rs.110 per sft (call 9244425679)..so dont pay anything more if at all u r planning to buy in cholama nagar in navalpatu…if someone is asking more than that they are cheting you..
5.theer are other major cities like madurai, salem and ofcourse coimbatore wheere things might work out first ..only after these get exhausetd trichy has the chance for IT park as the infrastructure is 30 feet road only and near navalpattu there is no road..
(do remember the banglore’s infrastructure problem and the threat by the IT companies to move out)..it wud be easier for companies not to get into trich y and later repent about it…so be wise folks who are investing
May 29, 2007 at 2:09 PM
I would definitely ignore the anti-Trichy comments. Also, I would beg Mr. Neon to invest in so called big cities and leave Trichy alone.
May 29, 2007 at 3:48 PM
Think Mr.Neon must be jealous, and at the same time, try tarnish the image of Trichy and its developments. Perhaps, Mr.Neon must be from Chennai, who cannot accept and digest, in seeing Trichy to be developed in par with other major cities in India.
Well, one would wonder Mr.Neon’s reaction, if Trichy were to be announced as the capital of Tamil Nadu state.
May 29, 2007 at 4:20 PM
15 New BPOs to come up in Trichy.
May 30, 2007 at 9:21 AM
I can’t but laugh at your comments.For sure most of the bloggers here are real estate agents or someone who has brought in so much of land that they keep talking/advising IT park will be in navalpatttu.. you real estate guys want to make fast money in the whole process by cheating common people by telling false things..but people buying in these areas be ware of such real estate agents.i am neither anti trichy nor have anything against someone believing that trichy wil be capital of TN..last but not the least I already hold 25 acres of my land in police colony area close to the proposed IT park site..so i am not here for any propoganda or promotion or anitpromotion of trichy..I never thought people from trichy cud stoop to so low levels to cheat people and make fast money thru false propoganda….People BEWARE ..God bless you all .
May 30, 2007 at 10:16 AM
I can’t completely agree or disagree with Neon’s comments. But i find it amusing that Maran, Kumar and a few others seem to just spring up in defense even at the mere mention of IT park project failing to take-off and in the process type some personally targetted “anti” comments.
All talk and no action is how state and central governments in india govern people. So it would just be stupid to believe that the “proposed” IT park will eventually become reality. Inspite of the strong emotional defense for trichy here, i have to agree with a few other people’s comments on trichy’s lack of infrastructure.
Indian companies are now diversifying with global ambitions which means they expect global infrastructure standards at home. Unfortunately, not even the biggest metros in india can come close to such standards. Even with the metro’s getting clogged beyond repair, these companies will only opt for a tire-2 city if it atleast sniffs at infrastructure growth. One(infrastructure) will follow the other(IT Park) is never a bargain local organizations and MNC’s will ever buy.
With 1 physical and 20 virtual chief miniter fukwits of one family ruling in Tamilnadu the larger organizations will never see a direction.
Neon, the last time i blogged here cautioning about the speculation on realty growth, the reaction was pretty much the same. So don’t waste your time responding to geeks. Those who are aware of the liabilities wont buy this unrealistic speculation anyway.
May 30, 2007 at 12:09 PM
Its true that most of the real estate agents are busy promoting. Few of my friends who had brought at 40 Rs. have started selling their plots at 100 so as to get out of this when it is hot.and to top it, there is an active land grabbing group which does the kattapanchayat for a hefty fee to get the land back.it has happened with one of my friend who had to pay a lakh to such goons..now he is desperatley trying to sell the pllots , but he is not able to find buyer.
May 30, 2007 at 7:55 PM
I apologize if I had hurt anybodys feelings.
If infrastructure was the driving force, can somebody explain why IT companies went to Bangalore rather than Chennai or Hyderabad which had a better infrastructure than Bangalore? Even now infrastructure is pathetic in Bangalore though its improving. Companys look for better deal from the government and whoever gives it they go there. Also MNCs come to India to save money!!!
Anyway here is the news about Trichy IT park I had posted earlier
ELCOT has proposed SEZ status for Trichy and other cities. The hearing for proposal is on June 22 and I guess things would move much faster after the hearing.
The Government had applied for a formal clearance from the Union Government to get special economic zone status at seven spots, where it had proposed to have tidel parks. The hearing of these proposals would be held on June 29, Mr. Umashankar said. SEZs had been proposed in Chennai, Tiruchi, Salem, Madurai and Tirunelveli.

truly said srikanth,.even one of my friend who had brought in in january wants to sell bcos of land grabbing problem and kata panchayat..but he is finding difficulty in selling bcos of this fear..hard earned money in troble bcos of thugs.most of brokers who are selling the plots on one hand are also indulging in this bcos they know that the buyers are all IT professionals who dont have time for all such kata panchanyat or for court case.most of the people in navalpattu are jobless and have enough time on earth to do such land grabbing busines and then make money.may be not a place for IT profesionals..
May 31, 2007 at 4:35 PM
Buyers,
I am looking for land in and around Navalpattu area for more than 6 months with clear title, but unfortunately I am not successfull to find one, as most of lands in Navalapattu, Cholamadevi area are poramboke and Government are planning to acquire those land in bits and pieces.
Go to http://www.tnreginet.net and verify the survey number of the land you are planning to buy as most of them in that area are Poramboke.
Buyers Be carefull.
June 1, 2007 at 4:55 AM
most of such fraud things are slowly coming to light only now.we IT guys are too busy to go and verify the true facts and want to do everything sitting from USA or from the AC rooms ..how many of us wud have really gone to navalpatu to see the place, know the place , talk to local trichy crowd before buying the plots sold? not many.the fact is even 20 years back when a defence establishment of india called HAPP – came to trichy in early 80’s many sold plots ..prominent among them is VGP.the anticipation was bcos of the factory , price would appreciate.
.but it did not happen.on top of it there was the land grabbing.few people who brought and managed to hold on to their land because they were localites or had themselves hd a hut there are selling now after almost 20 years to get out of that place..so some people who
thought it was wise to buy , invested and later realised that most of the borkers themselved are hand in glove with locals thugs to grab land becasue they known very well that you are not a localite and would not come to the place or dare to fight with them.At that time theer was even talk about medical college, university and even the TN govt shifting to that location.but nothing materialised other than evrything remaining on peiece of paper.In mid 90 theer was this announcement about similar kind of smalll level IT companies coming in that place becos REC is there and trichy has many colleges.it never happened.navalpatu is used to this kind of announcement once in every 10 years.and in the proocess the so called intelligent people invest only to be taken for ride.what has happened this time is no different.prices in navalpatu was 7 Rs per sft in Nov 2006 ..and who knows where they are today.can anyone even imagine that kind of price change in 6 months time even in place like madras or banglore or pune.NO..this time before the news was officially announced in newspaper and govt order got passed, the dmk people were told to make hay while sun was hot..so every dmk localite brought in only to start selling later in january , feb 07 and they know know that people will be easliy cheated in the name of IT this time..so it has happened this time too only with a different reason called IT park..long live navalpatu

Hello friends,
The international call center ALLSEC TECHNOLOGIES has opened its new office at Trichy one of its kind in India in a tier-2 city after Chennai and Bangalore.
June 1, 2007 at 10:32 AM
Allsec HAS NOT OPENED..it has said it is planning to .. http://www.indiaearnings.com/sub_india/compnews.php?autono=281026
June 2, 2007 at 7:39 AM
Dear Buyers ,
Please be advised the people in and around navalpattu are not trust worthy , off course the brokers . after buying the land , the same family members are issuing legal action claiming that that other relatives have right in the land . One party after getting the advance sold the land to other with the dupliate patta . even the area of the land claimed is not correct .
please do go for legal opinon to protect your investment .
P.S Needless to say i am victim for all of the above.
June 3, 2007 at 5:58 AM
India is not a country for professionals and honest people to make investments. It’s an MASSIVELY unregulated market with significant number of people among the one billion looking to make easy money through evil ways.
The government and law offers no protection to commoners in that country! The madness to invest on property merely on speculation shows even the educated are weak minded. Its ironical that even a speculation is driven by our faith on politicians- A spin-off of our woeful voting habits! A grand example is the system being run by a 84 year old who can’t even walk and talk appropriately. God help the people!
The postings from individuals like victim clearly exposes the problems. Hopefully, it will silence other bloggers speculating here with links which has no credibility.
June 5, 2007 at 7:35 AM
Iqbal u have done a good job by providing link ..ALLSEC Has NOTOPENED ANY CENTRE IN TRICHY ..i can vouch for it as i work for ALLSEC. It is only real estate agents like Ganapthy subramanian who will claim false things only for vested interests to promote and to add to spiralling land prices..dont know when such people will stop promoting such false things..like i heard the video conferecne and blah blah blah..stop such nonsense
June 5, 2007 at 11:02 AM
Hello Mr.Swamy and Iqbal,
Don’t blabber anything u like. Last week on friday they conducted an interview at Periyasamy towers. The company is engaged in conducting interview for the past 4 weeks at Trichy. I attended the interview last Friday and the HR named GOPI told us that they are about start their operation in Trichy in Non-technical process. They have selected 53 candidates last week.
June 5, 2007 at 12:20 PM
Swamy,
I am just wondering How you are working in ALLSEC without knowing your company future plan.
I am not necessary to do any real estate through this site. This site is designed to give input for IT companies.
Better you go and speak with your company official about your company future plan.
I am really sorry for your ignorance
June 5, 2007 at 12:59 PM
Ganapathy subramanian ..give me proof of allsec of having opened a centre in trichy..u r only talkin in air. u r one more cheat
June 5, 2007 at 1:20 PM
People like premkumar and Ganapathy subramanian will only talk in air..they will talk about all so called interview which they only would have attended…and thats the easiest way to fool people bcos no one can verify all their claims..i have made my point with the URL .. Allsec HAS NOT OPENED anything in trichy ..it has said it is planning to open..FOR PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND ENGLISH , THERE IS A LOT OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OEPNING A CENTRE AND PLANNING TO OPEN ONE..SORRY IF PREMKUMAR DOESNOT UNDERSTAND ENGLISH..ITS HIS IGNORANCE….verify the link http://www.indiaearnings.com/sub_india/compnews.php?autono=281026
June 5, 2007 at 1:34 PM
iqbal,swamy ..no use in trying to be honest..till you have real estate agents in this forum, they will keep telling false things…someone will tomorrow tell that microsoft has already opend one big development centre in navalpattu or to be specific excatly in the IT park ..on top of it they will talk as if they are working in it too..stupid real estate thugs get away from this forum
June 6, 2007 at 5:52 AM

June 6, 2007 at 7:00 AM
I noticed that premkumar’s/Ganapathy’s english isn’t all that good! Perhaps, that is one reason they could have misquoted and in the process misundersttod as well. It surprises me though that it boils down to war of words?!
It’s only a blog afterall – i certainly see no reason for anyone to be sensitive and react furiously. Come to think of it, the real-estate scammers are only exploiting the constant speculations by the rest(professionals and commoners) about this so called IT park.
The system back home in india cannot ensure appropriate implementation of projects -A realistic fact resulting from a fractured democracy for over 50 years. This is India for you and me mates!
June 6, 2007 at 8:36 AM
Let respect each other and keep sharing the information about Trichy.
Did anybody know the status of the proposed IT park at Cantonment by Mangalam Estates?

Hope Trichy gets SEZ status at the BOA meeting scheduled on June 22 and things move faster.

June 6, 2007 at 12:57 PM
I am again reiterating & requesting that the forum be used for useful purpose rather than any promotion tactics for real estate speculation..there are lots of sites like indiaproperty.com, 99acres.com where in people can go and do all promotion they want to do. Personally i do not have antyhing against any individual. For people who cant understand better read the news item twice before jumping to conclusions.
June 6, 2007 at 1:00 PM
swamy
Don’t irritate anybody. He has given the usefultips which he got from the website.
Why are you thinking always about realestate?
June 6, 2007 at 1:11 PM
alsama ..that comment was not for people giving useful information ..it was for people who are trying to do real estate speculation in indirect ways..hope you will understand before making a comment
June 7, 2007 at 4:53 AM
Iqbal first u read the blogs i posted. Did u used ur name ? Did i used any unparliamentary words here. U first started. Better read the blog heading ” IT parks in tier-2 cities”. Beter post blog only on IT companies and IT park progress and not on real estates. and one more thing ” DID I EVER SAID IN ANY OF MY PREVIOUS BLOGS THAT I”M DOING REAL ESTATE?” Then how dare u to say that “It was an indirect way f doing real estate”. First mind ur own words.
June 7, 2007 at 6:38 AM
truly said iqbal..most of the bloggers look like real estate people with dubious intentions.let us drive these people out from the forum ..as u have said there are other areas for promotion activities
June 7, 2007 at 7:04 AM
Kumar and Prem
Better we keep quite. Swamy and Iqbal both are palying to irritage others and indirectly trying to stop the new updates
June 7, 2007 at 7:08 AM
i m too tired of the different tactic adopted by some bloggers who in the name of sharing information on IT parks and job oppurtunities are adding to the speculative real estate prices by their so called interview sessions they had..or somone have “heard” the Video Conference interview of ALLSEC and not seen …bunch of jokers who dont understand english and they dare others with their vocal capability
June 7, 2007 at 9:48 AM
Give it a break god damn! What is wrong with you guys? Scammers ought to be filtered from in here…I wonder if the moderator is around at all??
Everyone who wishes to post in the future – PLEASE STICK TO THE AGENDA!

Any updates for IT PARK?
June 8, 2007 at 9:26 AM
I hope in future we will get good input about IT companies for Tiruchy
June 8, 2007 at 11:28 AM
for those who are crazy abt IT parks read the following interview from the IT secretary of TN. In the interview published in Nov 06, he told that more than 500 acres would be coming up as IT park in trichy and would come in 12-14 months time….howvever the gov has scaled down the 500 + acres to lesser scale because of lesser demand and on top of it more than 8 months have passed since that interview and till date not a single brick has been laid..its all a mere eyewash ..and people who are dreaming abt IT park in trichy keep dreaming…

I think Mr.sami has loss his patient . Because here people are saying that the work for IT part will start in this month or next month and so on…. But there is no any reaction from the government about the IT part in trichy.It not wrong if we blame our ministers in Trichy. They are the responsible persons to take action about this for the future of trichy.
But they dont have time to think about these issues. They are busy with how to improve their status and how to be strong in the party and in the politics.
Something we want to do for this . We should prove that a BLOG even can make a revolution and i hope we will get our dream true.

June 13, 2007 at 2:17 PM
i wont be surpised if there is no IT park cominng up in trichy in near future too..for people who have been seen the IT corridor especially the Old mahabalipuram road, chennai atleast once in the recent times, would realise that there is so much of surplus of IT parks all over the place..everything is in contruction phase in most of the places and there are not many takers for these IT parks in chennai as there is excess capacity available.One estimate tells that the seats available in the IT parks in the IT corridor is more than the work force available in india for the next 5 years.so clearly there is a huge supply vs demand mismatch. remember the late 90’s ..tidel park was less than 50 % occupied…comapnies vacated the tidel park…it took almost 4 years for it to get back into action.i envisage a similar kind of thinh happening this time in the IT corridor …so people in trichy will have tto wait atleast for another 10-15 years to see any IT park if at all it is coming.

The above link indicates Tirunelveli is next in line for IT park development. So, it rather seems that Trichy IT park will be last in line for development , if there could be any demand by then, after Madurai, Salem and Hosur? Is the successive state governments totally against the development of Trichy in general???????? It seems so, base on the past record, since, the High court branch was transferred to Madurai, followed by AIIMS Super Specialty Hospital transferred to Salem. Well, only time will tell the truth. GOD BLESS TRICHY.
June 15, 2007 at 6:50 AM
Even though trichy has good faclities than salem or tirunelveli or even madurai, trichy is not being developed. State and central representatives are not bothered about developing our city.
June 15, 2007 at 8:15 AM
so whats the solution? for citydevolopment what about the signature campaign?
June 16, 2007 at 7:01 AM
Hello friends,
Our district Representative to the state govt. K.N.Nehru is a kind person having good relation with our CM. Why don’t we approach him? This is his address..
K.N.Nehru.,
Transport Minister of Tamilnadu.,
74/c, 10th Cross St.,
West Extn.,
ThillaiNagar.,
Trichy – 620018.
I’ve sent about 2 letters regarding development of the city.
Better send your views and thoughts to him. The residents of Trichy were not satisfied with the present govt. because of their carelessness and neglecting the city in all aspect. Send more letters to the minister pointing out that the peoples are unsatisfied with the govt.’s industrial policy for this city. Surely they will do some thing to save their vote bank. We should all approach thru letters and in person until they bring some industrial investment for our city.

I am presently working in USA. Presently IT has started recession in the slower pace in US. This will impact india also. The heavy hit in IT is expected. Therefore IT Park coming in Tier II cities may get delayed/postponed for long time. May be 8 – 10 years. Please do not invest much money. Also consider the crash in land prices at various places. There is also artificial hype / rate increase for the lands. This artficial bubble will be blasted very soon. Please be careful and alert.
June 25, 2007 at 5:33 AM
me too working in US…and few of my friends who are in the bay area..the west coast of US have started feeling the slow down heat ..i think we have reached a saturation point in the business cycle…looks like the recession cycle has started or about to begin..this willl get confirmed in this quarter ending report or with the next quarter..typically it takes 2 quarter results to officially decalre as recession…looks like the cycle is to start…may be might take another 6-8 years for the US economy to really make a comeback..so guys back in india hold on to your hard earned money..the politicians as usual have started all announcemnets as IT park, SEz park to bail them out.& make fast money..reality will hit them after sometime..but you be atleast careful with money ..dont get carrried away with IT park and that too with less infrstructure facility cities..be wise
June 25, 2007 at 7:15 AM
Prabhu and Krish have nailed the coffin by pointing out what i had long echoed in here! Infrastructure should and will influence future realty market in india – Trichy with its existing pathetic facilities is a loonnngggg way away from being home to IT parks. Lets accept the truth gracefully and be aware of the hard reality.
By the way, US is expriencing a slow down in pace of growth rather than a recession as yet. However, like krish mentioned, the second quarterly financial reports will spell the real picture. Lay-off’s could be in the horizon for indian IT employees as well!
June 25, 2007 at 7:20 AM
check out the ndtv profit report aired in hot property(sunday morning 10 AM)..the report says that there is more than 200% SURPLUS IT park space available in chennai ..if i remember the numbers correct then the demand is for 6.3 Mn sft while the supply is 20 Mn sft ..clearly showing that supply is more than demand and with the talk of slowdown in US, it is anybody’s guess that the excess supply in chennai will take atleast another 4 -5 years to get used up and may be trichy might not witness any IT park atelast in the near future..may be for 8-10 years time..
coming to other cities like pune or banglore, over there is also excess IT space available compared to demand..the only area where supply is less than demand is bombay(8% shortage)..clearly goes a long way to tell that IT park in trichy has along way to really realise if at all it happens

June 25, 2007 at 12:43 PM
Since we got Cabinet BOA approval for SEZ (Special Economic Zone) status, we hope for best
June 25, 2007 at 12:59 PM
everything goes as per business needs…so whether the IT park comes up now or after 5 years or after 10 years depends on the basic thing called NEED based on which every company decides..getting an approval does not necessarily mean IT park is coming up tomorrow.looking at the surplus IT park space already created and readily available in metros like chennai, pune or banglore, i personally do not think that there will be any immediate need for any IT space in trichy.it is but only logical to exhaust the readily available space in metros like chennai, pune or banglore then to go for anything new..
June 25, 2007 at 2:23 PM
Seema..ur logic sounds perfect…when the readily built IT space in chennai or in other metros like banglore or pune or NCR region have no takers why would someone want to build any new space in trichy?? does not make any business sense at all to build any IT park in trichy or tirunelveli…the ndvtv profi report on sunday 10 am was superb..keep watching it for more cues on the direction the proprty prices are heading towards along with demand vs. supply numbers
June 26, 2007 at 5:47 AM
I think Kavitha & Thamizh are NOT interested in the improvement of the TRICHY City. Basically you need to understand this is NOT a place to fight between Bulls & Bears of Property/Real Estate.
IT Parks in Tier-II promoted due to 2 main reasons:
1. To get “Inclusive” Growth
2. To curb sky rocketing “Attrition Rates”
Publish news towards the improvement of the city rather than posting YOUR Negative views.
June 26, 2007 at 6:06 AM
Kumar,
We cannot ignore their statement, They are expressing their views and real situation, Even if you check in elcot website lot places not booked.’
But, as you mentioned we all support Trichy for IT growth and city growth economically.
June 26, 2007 at 6:09 AM
kumar: plz read the topic blog- IT parks in tier 2 cities.The views posted are only relevant to that ..infact you should understand this clearly before making any irrelevant statement like the one you have made – improvement of city- which is not relevant to topic blog
June 26, 2007 at 7:23 AM
Irrelevance is an understatement kavitha! This guy appears to be a freak from planet mars….Kumar, You ought to remember that an personal opinion based on facts does not mean negative influence.
Its appalling behavior to react so feverishly – If you like to hear only “feel good” comments based on speculation and hype then you might as well start a blog exclusively for that purpose!
Get a life mate!
June 26, 2007 at 8:50 AM
unfortunately many people seem to conveniently ignore reality and want to see only unreal things..wake up from your dreams and realise that business works purely on satifsying need and if there is no need for IT space in trichy, it will never take off irrespective of whatever reason someone gives..end of the day everyone is intersted in only profit..no company would be interersted in opening IT company in trichy if it does not make business sense for them and atleast in the current scenario i do not think companies will be fool to start anything in trichy
June 26, 2007 at 10:53 AM
I decided to check for myself and drove from OFT ( Pudukottai Road ) to Tiruverumbur via the Navalpattu village last week.
Soon after I took a left on Pudukottai Road towards OFT there was miles and miles of vacant land, till I reached some semblance of population which I think was the OFT quarters. At the end of the OFT quarters was HAPP and after enquiring from locals a left there took me to Navalpattu village.
It looks such a remote village, there is no construction nothing at all to support all the hype around it.
There was a Murugan koil and one of the locals suggested me to take a left there to reach Tiruverumbur. I missed it and went straight but still made it to Tiruverumbur, it was around 7 kms. The road was so narrow that opposite vehicles had to get off the road to cross each other, a typical bullock cartish….
Some might suggest if I had taken that turn and reached Tiruvermbur I should have seen something encouraging, I would have loved to, but looking at the place I would not even hope at least for the next 10 years.
June 26, 2007 at 11:05 AM
IT park ? or is it Idly Tea kadai Park …there is not even a single tea kadai paa and people talk about IT park…long live indian politicians and their benami real estate agents
June 27, 2007 at 1:51 AM
Karthi,,
I agree your point. Because of this reason only this place is selected for developement.
But, one thing before 7 years Bangalore was in the same status. Now, everything is changed. So, hope for the best.
June 27, 2007 at 5:23 AM
Alsama: pls understand that you can never draw a comparison between banglore and trichy..even wat bangalore was in 1990 and the current 2007 in trichy is no comparison..the basic infrastrcutre was very much available in bangalore and all it required was building IT park ..if building infrastructure was so easy , then you wont see so many problems in india…think you will need to step out little bit and know what is around before making any wishful statement..i am sorry for that , but you will need to hav basic understanding before putting forth your views
June 27, 2007 at 5:29 AM
Karthi,
I can understand. but still, Place Navalau, Coimbatore IT park was just like pottalkadu before the IT park comes.’
I hope this change in Trichy also. but, it wil take time.
June 27, 2007 at 5:30 AM
Karthi,
I can understand. but still, Place called Navalur, Coimbatore IT park was just like pottalkadu before the IT park comes.’
I hope this change in Trichy also. but, it wil take time
June 27, 2007 at 5:39 AM
alsama:you are still missing the point:the basic thing called ROAD was in all these places..i have worked in both these places and i have been in both these places…wat is missing in navalapattu is the basic thing.hopw you understand

read this article on the dropping land prices in tier2 & 3 cities .. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/Smaller_realtors_take_exit_route/articleshow/2152298.cms
“Industry observers said the residential property market, which remained stagnant for the past few months, has started developing cracks, especially in Mumbai’s suburban markets and the tier-II and III cities.” – an interesting comment to be noted
June 27, 2007 at 6:07 AM
on the inaugration of palakarai fly over CM said that trichy will be the sub capital of TN next to chennai…… but there is no steps taken ….. if it is announced like that then all the companies keep their eye towards trichy……. then the development takes place automatically…… adding thiruverumbur to the corporation will boost the population of the city and there by many urban development schemes are to be announced…. many good schemes are transferred to madurai and coimbatore due to the city does not meet the min population standards quoted by the tn govt
i think the corporation must plan foresighted and adding thiruverumbur to the corporation limits so as to attract various schemes proposed by the govt…………
June 27, 2007 at 8:29 AM
may be sivakumar you are hearing about CM’s trichy stuff now..this has been there in news for more than 20 years..trichy as second capital…has anything changed in 20 years that you think it will change now?
June 27, 2007 at 11:55 AM
Palakarai flyover took 12 years to complete. and if anybody has travelled on it recently, it would take a thousand pills to believe that this is a brand new one. In 12 years China would have built an entire city.
June 27, 2007 at 11:59 AM
athu oru flyover katurathuku trichy took 12 years ..but u know some very positive guys in this forum will say it wud take just 12 days to build IT park ..i wont be surprised if someone makes that kind of statement..u know their real intentions
June 27, 2007 at 4:57 PM
IT park comes or not it doesn’t matter…… but there is no entertainment in the city …
is there any theme park or drive inn, shopping mall in trichy …. u people dont say fsm is a shopping mall it is totally waste ……..
all the above mentioned entertainment should come first then we talk about the it park comes or not
June 28, 2007 at 7:18 AM
road illai, tea kadai illai and this man is talking about entertainment..wake up man
June 29, 2007 at 1:00 AM
In the earlier meeting they cancelled this proposal. Now, they approved again. I don’t who is getting benefit in this project . They never think about to improve the city by new Industries.
Vaazhga DMK. vazharga adhan varisugal,
June 29, 2007 at 6:48 PM
####### VERY IMPORTANT#################### all you guys please listen , i m happy that all of you are eager in seeing trichy become a major city in s.india but sorry to say that is not going to happen, is because TRICHY CITY IS CURRENTLY NOT UNDER THE SCHEME CALLED jawaharlal nehru urban renewal mission OF THE CENTRAL GOVT. WHEREAS CHENNAI MADURAI AND COIMBATORE ARE INCLUDED IN THIS SCHEME AND have ALREADY GOT NEARLY 4000 CRORES EACH FOR THEIR URBAN DEVELOPMENT SCHEME. SO IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT TRICHY DOES NOT HAVE SO MUCH FUNDS FOR ITS DEVELOPMENT AND NO POLITICIAN LOBBIES TO INCLUDE TRICHY IN THA SCHEME. HOPE WE TAKE SOME STEPS IN THIS VERY SERIOUS MATTER.

I have invested in a place near siruganur,which is near perambalur which is declared as
SEZ zone for IT.
The price per 20 cents(appx 4 plots)is 40,000 rupees.1acre=2 lakhs.
If anyone is interested,you can contact me @ govarna@yahoo.co.in for details about the plots.
I have bought an acre here,i feel the price is reasonable and also there are many layouts in and around the area..sure this place is fast developing….
July 2, 2007 at 11:56 AM
Hi Kavitha,
You people only concentrated on IT news… If you got some data entry operation u were giving big show (and giving in the logo ÏT”)… Trichy have some Big heavy engineering industries, developing their potential..
We want to share Industrial news in this blog…
July 2, 2007 at 12:12 PM
The engineering industries have played an important role in the development of trichy. These industires will really play an important role of future developments.
Nobody is sure of IT parks or IT companies coming to trichy. There is only much hype for IT companies.
See coimbatore, surat, rajkot, ludihana – these are some of highly industrial region of india and they are due to engineering and textile industries.
A company investing Rs 1100 crores is a very high investment.
July 2, 2007 at 2:08 PM
i am not against anyone discussing any development happenings in trichy.the point is this blog is for IT parks and hence if you want to discuss non IT stuff, then this is not the forum for that. please create a seperate blog to discuss non IT thing.Hope you will understand that the blog topic over here is ” IT Parks in TierII cities – update”..so stick to the agenda and if you still think you are correct, then i can oly pity the quality of bloggers over here

Residential Lands Near IT Park(SEZ)
http://www.indiaproperty.com/property/IP401600/
July 3, 2007 at 12:05 PM
Tony you are right.the land grabbing is a common activity in navalpatu as the localites living there do not really have any job to do..neriya thiruttu pasanga irunkaangapaa..so when they come to know that someone has brought something in that area, they do this..just to make money..then they will do all the katta panchayat .favaorable to localites..eventually they relent after they have received their money from land owners..so buyers beware..
July 3, 2007 at 12:14 PM
In few other cases, the landgrabbers are hand in glove with the real estate promoters as the promoters know the purchaser, his work place and all details. ..then these land grabbers occupy the land & wont vacate it..next the landowner approaches the original developer to help him out as the original developer mostly is local guy..sensing oppurtunity the original developer literally gets the land back at dirt cheap rate (the real land owner desperate to get atleast his investment back, he does not have time to go to court)w..this is one more tactic goin in that area…one of my friend’s dad experienced this in the same navalpattu area some 20 years back when there was the rumor that navalpattu will devleop becase medical colleage is coming(in 1985)…do u see any medical colleger in that area?
July 4, 2007 at 6:56 AM
you are right murugan , velu.the land prices over there are worth max of 30-40 per sft…there is nothing over there..i really wonder people’s ignorance to buy and then repent later
July 4, 2007 at 7:12 AM
y would someone invest when it is becoming very well know that navalpattu and for that matter the IT declared zones in other areas too are prone to such landgrabbing acts…especially when ruling party men are themselves invloved directly. Y buy and repent later..it will be like crying over split milk
July 6, 2007 at 5:50 AM
hey members talk something related to IT like jobs, trends and technologies. if u want to talk abt real estate, land buying price pls avoid. pls take care. start a new blog for that alone, i too would be thankful if someone does tat. pls leave tis blog for information related to IT alone.

Though the news has not made public, people in & around the area know this very well.Hence if you are plannning to make fast money by invcestment better do a reality check and then buy.The real estate brokers knowing this news has treid to suppress this news and are fast promoting the plots as they had already brought agricultural lands to develop plots.So investors beware of false news about navalpattu and IT park.be ready to lose otherwise..after all it is your hard earned money
July 10, 2007 at 8:54 AM
even one of my uncle who is into real estate business in trichy has confirmed that some real estate brokers in navalpattu area and in tiruvermbur area in the name of IT park in navalpattu are fooling people becase there is not going to be any IT park coming in navalpattu. I heard IT has shifted out from trichy because of Govt’s decision.but as usual our govt doesnot disclose any such changes for all known reasons..wait for sometime and you will hear it officially…..atleast dont get carried away by supressed or withheld information.Wait and watch for picture to emerge

There is no ITpark coming in trichy..and the GOVT as usual has not done anything to deny this news for obviously known reasons. IT park has moved out of trichy to Peramblur disctrict because OF COURT STAY ORDER TO BUILT IT PARKS IN oft AREA OR HAPP AREA FOR SECURITY REASONS AS WELL AS BECAUSE of Raja, the new IT minister…so if there is someone giving all sort of hype about IT parks in trichy…BEWARE about their intentions..they are not doing any thing for sharing information but they are real estate brokers who are using this forum to create hype because they very well know that this forum is blogged by IT people.so the next time someone shares any bull link about trichy and development news you very well be aware of their intentions. DO NOT FALL INTO THEIR TRAP AND BE A PREY

July 13, 2007 at 3:38 AM
some projects may take time, 1plot vangarthuke 4-5 months we think, for a big project like it park will not take atleast a year or two to finalise. when u people speak of land grabbing and falling prices, just think in chennai the realestate boom started long back and not it has reached a saturation level and now the price is getting corrected . just becasue of that dont say that it park will not come here and will be shifted to perambalur bla bla …… Think positive, be optimistic
July 13, 2007 at 4:27 AM
Hi friends,
There is no use of speaking about the development but to express our views to the state and central representatives. Myself and Shanthavel met Mr. Trichy N.Siva MP on 12th July. He said he’s ready to help in anyway if we continue to give suggestions. He also pointed out to form a group to represent public and student. If you want to say your views please call me(9994265574) or Shanthavel(9894967547). We need your valuable ideas and suggestions to improve the city.
July 13, 2007 at 5:22 AM
It is of no use to advise folks over here a it is only plagued with real estate agents.Even if someone cleans the street in navalpatu they wil put a link and at time few people give link without nay meanignful thing in it. If you think deciding if I Tpark will come or not takes 2 years, then it very well shows your ignorance.it was only yday that Mukesh amabani’s SEZ got approval in bombay and the work has statred.Trichy more than 5 motnhs have gone not even one single thing has happeened. for people who are ignorant will always dream that IT park is coming in trichy navalpattu but the fact is the IT park has shifted from trichy to perambulur because of OFT and HAPP stay orders from court and also Raja, IT minister wanted it to be in his constituenccy- perambalur.Please do not give any wrong information to public for your vested interest to sell some plots

July 13, 2007 at 5:45 AM
Hi.. Mr. Kathir..
Give me some realistic status.. Don’t think that because of Raja (IT minister), it will go to Perambalur… For creating IT park..need some Infrasture facilities like, Network facilities( Airpor, Trian Network & Bus Road network to all major cities), Hospitals, Hotels, Educational Institutions and most importantely Human resourses…
I Don’t think, Peramballur will fulfill atleast any one of the above said creteria.
Raja also knows all those potential..
July 13, 2007 at 6:01 AM
It is only because of the stay from OFT/HAPP that the IT park in trichy is not materialising. Raja is second reason. What infrastructure do you think navalpattu has got..? cant even connect to chennai highway..moreover there is no feasibility or possibility to build infrastructture in navalpattu.So IT park in trichy is a thing of past andd it iss IT Park in Perambulu..if you want to belive it believe or else jus for others who keep day dreaming about IT park in navalpattu..long live their dreams
July 13, 2007 at 6:30 AM
IT minister wont be bothered about all the listed factors for deciding IT park in Perambalur…if a politician thinks logically India would hav devloped and would have become better place by now.Unfortunately everyone have their own vested interests for vote banks or for party or for making more money. Point is all DMK real estate man in navalpatu have made tons of money based on navalpatu..now therefore they have moved out to Perambalur already to invest huge monety there just to make multifold later..it is only the ordinary man who has lost his money based on all rumoours.But atleast as of now the truth is IT Park is not coming in navalpattu .So be cautious
July 13, 2007 at 8:15 AM
Semi-Ring road to come up in Trichy at Rs 77 crore
——————————————————————————–
The sem-ring road to connect Karur, Dindugal, Madurai, Pudukkotai and Tanjavur roads.
This work will also be inagurated by chief minister on July 25
http://www.dinakaran.co.in/epaperdin…065&code=18136
So.. this semi ring road will connect Tanjore Road starting from Thuvagudu to Pudukottai road (Navalpattu is coming in tis belt), Madurai, Dindugal, finally ending up with Karur road…
If somebody is intersted in investing near Navalpattu is foolishness… Since anytime government may take over this land…
It is better to stay out of the concerned area… So don’t make issue related to Real estate bussiness…
I have given this link only because somebody asked about network facility in Navalpattu…
It is very near to Airport..about 5 Kms, Railwaystation about 10 Kms.. connecting all higways…(Planned)…
Whatever it may be the case.. within three month everything will be visualised…
As Trichian.. we have to concentrate on projects… No concern about the site…
If you really concern about real estate bussiness.. can worry about the site.. We people are not concerning about real estate… So as Trichian… We welcome IT park anywhere near our city limit…
If any concern is there about HAPP… Minister’s will solve…
You know… Fly over connecting Madurai road with Tanjore road in mannarpuram also coming in Defence area (Almost 90 % land coming under defence area…) All issue’s been solved & they are going to start the fly over works…
So .. We wish.. our government will solve everything.. and hopefully we’ll soon get started the Inaguration…
July 13, 2007 at 8:23 AM
IT park is not coming in Navalpattu, Trichy. I can attribute this to the following reasons..
1.Court stay because of OFT/HAPP(defence establishments) objection to build any IT park in a 20 km radius from its factories for security reasons
2.No road or anything called infrastructure in navalpattu
3.Trichy not in development plan..TRICHY CITY IS CURRENTLY NOT UNDER THE SCHEME CALLED jawaharlal nehru urban renewal mission ..which is for urban development and there is no politcal lobbying for that too..
4.Excessive supply lying unutilized in other metros like Chennai (3 times excess supply available than demand) .. 200% SURPLUS IT park space available in chennai..ndtv profit(hot property news)
5.Slow down in US and rupee appreciation makes IT business not so profitable
6.Land grabbing activity very much rampant in navalpattu..it is famous for katta panchayat
7.Govt change will happen even before IT park is implemented..so definitely ADMK govt willl propose a new site(as navalpattu is a DMK area)
8.slow down in US…recession ..wait for the quarter’s number to see and verify
July 13, 2007 at 8:38 AM
Government has set up a panel to monitor IT Park Cities
——————————————————————————–
Government has set up a panel to provide basic infrastructure to the cities (including Trichy) where IT park will be coming.
As for Trichy, the propsed site is on the 100 feet road of the Trichy-Pudukottai highway and is also near the airport which is really an advantage.

July 13, 2007 at 9:29 AM
Ramaswamy & others who had earlier shared the news that the IT park in navalpattu is not coming is very much true.thanks for sharing the tip…from very well known sources i too gathered to hear the same information and looks like the Govt might even announce this in 2-3 weeks time.Thanks for the prior tip..i have saved my money.i was about to invest in navalpattu.thanks once again
July 13, 2007 at 12:50 PM
There isn’t any news till date of OFT acquiring stay against IT park coming in Navalpattu. Since this is an highly visible issue any stay would have been in the news like the stay against the proposed integrated bus stand near cauvery bed which was all over the newspapers. With a Stay, the Board of Approval would not have approved Special Zone for the project. So this is just a rumour.
Most of the IT companies prefer Tier II cities due to high Attrition in big cities. The companies in big cities are struggling to keep their employees.Also Tier II cities have advantage due to low infrastructure cost and more quality manpower available.
With increasing rupee value and recession, it makes sense for companies to move to smaller cities to save money.
July 13, 2007 at 1:25 PM
even my source of information is similar to wat ramaswamy or krishnan has said about IT park – navalpattu.they are correct when they say no IT Park in navalpattu as OFT has oobjected to it for security reason.The govt has only decided to move it out from navalpatu and this info i got is from a govt known source..not made public….so may be you can wait for that to come in 2 -3 weeks time official.there is lot of reasons also which contribute to me also believing that IT park in navalpattu may not materialise as ramaswamy has already pointed out.
Even i wud have been happy if IT park materialises as i have close to 1.5 acres in cholomaa nagar area..the site in navalpattu..but looks like it wont happen..i cud hav cashed out during the booming period with the IT news
July 13, 2007 at 1:42 PM
my father in law is a real estate broker in police colny -annanagar(area close to navalpattu). Last month when I had asked him to look for 1-2 acres for investment in navalpattu he advised me against doing it over there because of the OFT objection to IT park in navalpatu.I am sure he is better informed than me about the realities. I dont think this news is rumour.So guys better do a informed decsion on your own before maknign any investement

The Collector, Ashish Vachhani, said that the development of SMEs represented decentralisation of growth centres. Tiruchi was the capital of power equipment manufacturing and the city would also get an IT Park soon. With proper credit linkage and support, the small clusters of knitwear units in Puthanatham and kora mat units in Musiri could grow further.

Looks like navalpattu has been declared SEZ – http://www.sezindia.nic.in/HTMLS/Formal-approvals-granted-under-SEZ-Act-as-on-10-July-2007.pdf
July 17, 2007 at 12:15 AM
Murthi,
It is really good news. but, If we have stay order in this area it is difficult.
More over this stay order request from Defence. So, it is very difficult to set up TIDEL PARK in this area…
July 17, 2007 at 5:46 AM
Premkumar/Shanthavel..I think we can also get this clarified from the trichy MP as to how they plan to overcome the stay/objection which is there from the OFT/HAPP..(ministry of defence) over the construction of IT Park in navalpattu?not sure if we wud really get any direct answers but if there is someway we can overcome the stay from OFT/HAPP it wud be good for all trichy folks
July 17, 2007 at 6:44 AM
Smoke is the first indication of fire .Stocks go up/down in stock market which is followed by good/bad news from the company.In all these cases if you see, the general public gets to know the truth only in the end.Sad but true.This happens in real life too. People who are street smart pick up the early signals and for that matter of fact even people who had mad a mad rush to invest in navalpatu also had key information before the IT park in navalpattu was made public in Jan25,2007..one of the signals was the TNHB plots getting sold after 20 years (this news was in Sep 2006..check this http://www.hindu.com/2006/09/08/stories/2006090815530100.htm)..this is only an indicative trend for intelligent to pick up signals.Similarly if you read the current trend or signals..the falling land prices,almost nil registration and ofcourse the haste with which promoters are working overtime to sell of their layouts without much success…are all indications of the things to become public.wait for sometime .hope by then people do not lose out their hard earned money with some patience.
July 17, 2007 at 2:12 PM
y cant we share something more current & more relevant than the same old news..and morever there is no confirmation coming in about IT park in navalpattu ..moreover the link that ravikumar has provided about dedicted webpage is more than 6 months old..check out the date ..last updated on 10-jan-2007.
July 17, 2007 at 5:19 PM
>>>>It is really good news. but, If we have stay order in this area it is difficult.

Can you point us any link that a stay order is coming against navalpattu TIDEL. I checked with my sources in trichy and with revenue/land department in trichy and there is NO stay order against the location. In avadi in chennai, there are several software companies big companies close to sensitive defence installations. There are several examples like this in Vizag, Hyd, Bangalore, Chennai, etc
I think somebody is spreading rumour so that trichy development can become stunned.
Please don’t spread rumours.
>>>>.I think we can also get this clarified from the trichy MP as to how they plan to overcome the stay/objection which is there from the OFT/HAPP..(ministry of defence) over the construction of IT Park in navalpattu?
Vijay, Do you have any links to show that OFT is having objections. If they have objections, SEZ proposal for navalpattu would have been deffered and not approved. Can you point some links.
July 17, 2007 at 6:38 PM
Yes. I agree with Trimurthi. I think some people in this blog “unnecessarily” creating a rumour saying that stay/objection from OFT . These people are not interested in welcoming the IT companies coming to TRICHY. I don’t know why the hell these people creating rumours like this with out any base and stunning the IT developments in Trichy. It is something like “residents” of trichy itself against “Trichy”. Always whenever u raise any objections, please raise with some proof. with out don’t post anything “unnecessarily” and i would like to know what u get out of it that too after we got Cabinet approval of SEZ status of TRICHY IT Park. We all welcome IT Park in TRICHY @Navalpattu.
July 18, 2007 at 5:53 AM
even after the approval for SEZ is being cleared some tiruchians dont believe this, so sad.,,”’…
July 18, 2007 at 6:01 AM
It’s not a question of believing, but, it’s a question of heavily vested political involvements, just like the case of AIIMS Super Specialty Hospital shifting to Salem.
July 18, 2007 at 6:11 AM
This time we are getting the IT park for sure @ Navalpattu. Since all the Tier-2(Trichy, Madurai, salem, CBE, Tirunelveli) cities are getting same IT Park. This time it will happen for sure. No chance of moving.
July 18, 2007 at 9:30 AM
Venu see this link from the same website

It looks like there is NO STAY
July 18, 2007 at 11:17 AM
more than 6 months (26jan2007) have gone since the IT park in nvalapattu got approval and till date not a single IT company has shown interest …even for that matter only chennai & coimbatore are the only places where the company have shown interest..others are zero interest shown by companies..goes a long way to indicate that the TN policy of having IT park set up in every nook and corner of streets of tamilnadu is not gooing to take off
http://www.elcot.in/elcot_landrequirements_list.php
July 18, 2007 at 4:38 PM
My Dear Trichians,
Who told no IT companies has evinced interest. Infact as per umashankar all spaces in all IT parks have been booked (this includes kovai, trichy, madurai, salem).
Specifically several companies has expressed interest @ trichy
http://www.hindu.com/2007/01/25/stories/2007012514850100.htm
http://www.hindu.com/2007/03/23/stories/2007032313520100.htm
Of course umashankar is not going to tell TCS/Infosys/etc by name because it will bring up lot of noise since these companies itself will initially want to keep things quiet.
The elcot link is a very old one with several spaces in chennai, kovai getting booked and it does not show!!!!
Cognizant is planning big in madurai (http://www.hindu.com/2007/04/30/stories/2007043012560100.htm) and is also heavily considering trichy. I know a big shot in this company and they are crazy about TN and kerala because of their huge success at both these locations especially TN.
Initially it was OFT objection and once proved this is baseless rumour now the next fake thing which is no IT park is interested in navalpattu…How funny….Trichians are really funny though 🙂
July 18, 2007 at 6:47 PM
Cognizant has shown lot of interest in madurai (http://www.hindu.com/2007/04/30/stories/2007043012560100.htm) and my friend is a big shot there and he is saying they are keen on Trichy also since they have benefited big time in chennai and like TN govt attitude.
As per umashankar all spaces in most IT parks taken away. In trichy lot of bigger software companies has expressed interest (http://www.hindu.com/2007/03/23/stories/2007032313520100.htm)
Since the OFT rumour has been smashed, now the next rumour that navalpattu is not a good location.
To cut costs and to spread risks, tier 2 cities like trichy are excellent for big companies and they will be jumping soon.
Eloct website is old, it still lists several places in chennai and kovai as unsold. You know about govt departments right 🙂
Trichian’s rejoice, IT revolution is on. We need to rename Trichy as ITrichy…
July 18, 2007 at 7:45 PM
Awesome news shantavel. Also kudos to Umashankar who is doing a planned job
http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2007/07/19/stories/2007071951832100.htm
With madurai, salem, trichy all IT parks outside main areas, this move will bring necessary infrastructure onto the IT parks and hence all around growth in that area.
Let us welcome software, let us make ITrichy, THE place to be.
July 19, 2007 at 1:32 AM
i wish to share a news (informal) that elcot has alloted areas to 12 software companies.
i can get you the details in a week or two.
July 19, 2007 at 4:36 AM
good job prem and shathavel., all the very best
July 19, 2007 at 5:04 AM
Malai eagely expecting what are those companies making in Navalpattu. Post the data soon.
July 19, 2007 at 5:41 AM
the best comeedian i have come across in this blog is a gentleman called CEO ….interstingly people will sooon get to know that the CEO is none other than a big joker or to put it he is only a real estate agent. Mr. CEO ..why dont u post ur emaild of urs so that we know which tea kadai CEO you represent…good joke for the day man..thanks for making it
July 19, 2007 at 5:53 AM
interestingly there seems to be too much of vested interest of some pople to share informal news ..12 companies blah blah blah…and there was this joker CEO..with $10Mn….Mr.CEO dolars are u referring to murugan dollars?? CEO has got so much of money..$10Mn as well as time to blog…CEO do u know how many zeroes are there in a million? goes on to show that the real estate agents are back in full form with changed names…ofcourse let me also clarify that i am not referring to any specific individual here …the 20 mn sqft in chennai already constructed in chennai has found very little takers and comedians are joking about interest shown by IT companies in navalpattu…joke ku oru alavey iliiyaa sir??
July 19, 2007 at 7:38 AM
only for those who saysthat ” there is no infrastructure in navalpattu”
Have you ever gone to chengalpattu or sriperumpudur 5 years back. There will not be more than 5-8 buses per day from guindy. now with Mahindra city in chengalpattu, we cannot refuse that IT co’s are looking at TIER II cities to cut thier overhead expenses.
so let us join together to make all the efforts to get this done
July 19, 2007 at 12:09 PM
For those obsessed with IT park in navalpattu and the reason they always keep cheering about it ..here is my reason why IT park in trichy is a dream for now atleast..i am not saying it willnot come..it will take time and it might come after 7-10 years
1.No road or anything called infrastructure in navalpattu
2.Trichy not in development plan..TRICHY CITY IS CURRENTLY NOT UNDER THE SCHEME CALLED jawaharlal nehru urban renewal mission ..which is for urban development and there is no politcal lobbying for that too..
3.Excessive supply lying unutilized in other metros like Chennai (3 times excess supply available than demand) .. 200% SURPLUS IT park space available in chennai..ndtv profit(hot property news)
4.Slow down in US and rupee appreciation makes IT business not so profitable..check out anywebsite for this info and you will find plenty on this
5. Most important there is no business sense for devleloping anything new in trichy as there is already readily constructed space available in chennai without any demand( 200% SURPLUS IT park space available in chennai..ndtv profit(hot property news)
Leave alone the rumored stay /objection by OFT/HAPP th, the above point merits discussion for who have got atleast any business sense.For others who are none other than REAL ESTATE agents, this will always be falling into deaf ears..
On top of it Govt change might happen even before IT park is implemented..so ADMK govt might propose a new site(as navalpattu is a DMK area)
July 19, 2007 at 12:56 PM
Dear Mr. Swamy…
Don’t copy the matter where we discussed earlier in some other forum…if you interested to do something for our city.. don’t blame government … city will emerge as it’s own merits…
R u thinking that everything will come in one night?….
Have you gone Irungatukottai ever before …
I had been working with Hyundai since the year 1999 to 2004…
I know .. how the place was in the year 1999 and .. go and have a look of the place now…I”m not comparing with trichy… It’s not a matter of developing Infrasture if active participation of PPP…
Let’s we all hope, trichy also will make some turn around in near future.. If possible do actively participate with our guys to promote our city…
July 19, 2007 at 1:49 PM
All these days it was about OFT acquiring stay against IT Park at Navalpattu, now they have different a different story and tomorrow it will be something else.
May be people wanted everything right from the Heaven.
All bogus commnets. Its not worth for discussion.
July 19, 2007 at 1:57 PM
Well, only TIME will tell the truth, so just be patient mate.
July 19, 2007 at 1:58 PM
I can only laugh away & ignore the “thoughtful” comments of Mr. Niranjan & Mr.A.Kumar..You know the reason …and they will never be able to give one single/valid point to counter me..bcos people will know what these so called thinkers are here in this forum for what reason….FYI SWAMY is alias RAMASWAMY..i call myself Swamy in short..so i have not copied anything but my own comemnts…boys wake up to your ignorance and have wishful thinking..try something else next time to divret the topic…u do not have any single valid reason to counter and hence you want to push it under carpet…Go take a walk
I m repeating what i said earlier…

July 19, 2007 at 5:07 PM
Ahahh… the OFT rumour is gone and now comes ‘infrastructure’ bashing.
1.No road or anything called infrastructure in navalpattu
This is bogus. Have you seen maraimalainagar like 5 years back and now. 5 years back MRN in outskirts of chennai was a no man land. Now it is a thriving place.
2.Trichy not in development plan..TRICHY CITY IS CURRENTLY NOT UNDER THE SCHEME CALLED jawaharlal nehru urban renewal mission ..which is for urban development and there is no politcal lobbying for that too..
JNURM is already a scheme that is a huge political football. In chennai, Blore, etc politicians in alliance with bogus contractors are pushing lot of schemes which has no feasibility study/analysis/scrutiny/etc. TN govt has enough funds to take care of infrastructure in navalpattu.
3.Excessive supply lying unutilized in other metros like Chennai (3 times excess supply available than demand) .. 200% SURPLUS IT park space available in chennai..ndtv profit(hot property news)
200% IT park in chennai. Were you day dreaming. DLF park in porur got sold out before launching and now symantec, syntel is occupying. L&T park in manapakkam sold out as it was being built. Sriram gateway in GST road in chennai is already getting offers and they are expanding the park…the list goes on and on.
4.Slow down in US and rupee appreciation makes IT business not so profitable..check out anywebsite for this info and you will find plenty on this
IT business not profitable..WhAAATTTTTTTTT. Are you out of your mind. IT is the main thing in India for next 20 years.
5. Most important there is no business sense for devleloping anything new in trichy as there is already readily constructed space available in chennai without any demand( 200% SURPLUS IT park space available in chennai..ndtv profit(hot property news)
Dont repeat allegations. Not only in trichy, but kovai, madurai and salem are very attractive.
Leave alone the rumored stay /objection by OFT/HAPP th, the above point merits discussion for who have got atleast any business sense.For others who are none other than REAL ESTATE agents, this will always be falling into deaf ears..
After OFT rumour, please stop trichy bashing. Look at outskirts of Hyd, Chennai, etc. Look at tier 2 vizag, all are now happening IT place.
On top of it Govt change might happen even before IT park is implemented..so ADMK govt might propose a new site(as navalpattu is a DMK area)
DMK coalition is strong. The next threat is Vijayakanth as ADMK is fast losing its base due to the hands off attitude of Amma.
I now conclude that you are a very upset ADMK man not willing to see trichy/navalpattu grow because DMK is doing something good.
July 20, 2007 at 6:11 AM
i too agree with trimoorthy.Pune – mumbai, mysore – bangalore, Hydrabad – vizag, why not chennai – trichy.,
July 20, 2007 at 6:13 AM
I dont agree with those who says that there is no roads., etc.,
from MIET college there is already 120 ft road . Even if you take a route from tiruverumbur, chozanma devi village, the road is very good and new too to reach the proposed site.
July 20, 2007 at 6:14 AM
you have a developed police colony there, Rajarajeswari temple and 1 more temple at 120 ft road, so i hope it may not take time to develop this area as it is almost developing one
July 20, 2007 at 7:05 AM
I agree with Malai. There are 2 Matriculation schools in the same area.
July 20, 2007 at 10:23 AM
how many years will it take to develop an area which is about 8-10 kms from airport.
July 20, 2007 at 11:50 AM
M, M,T – short form for their names (MMT really EMPTY guys)are all same individuals putting in their comments …try something different pal..anyone who has even a little of business sense will see how intelligent & naive your thoughts are..kewl great work REAL ESTATE AGENTS…
July 20, 2007 at 1:39 PM
1.People will need to understand that there should be feasibility for developing infrastructure in a city.Maraimalainagar had that feasibility to be developed. It is similar to having a strong foundation to constructing a building..without a strong foundation you cant build anything on it . Trichy atleast as of now does not have the feasible infrastructure to be developed.
2.Excessive supply is something which is readily available in chennai …i agree with Swamy on that…atleast as of now i dont see much business sense in constructing something new in trichy .Without NEED no one is going to do business.
3. US slowdown is something which is widely reported…we just need to read business report cards of IT companies like TCS, infy,wipro ..everone is under squeezing margin pressure..TRimurti i will not agree with you when you say IT is the main thing in india..do you know IT contributes to less than 3% of indian exports? Please have the statistics before you make global statement
4.Going by tamilnadu politics trend no one would be suprised if DMK is followed by ADMK govt…that has been the way so far..
I do not want to comment on size of police colony or rajarajeswari temples…we have umpteen number of these in all street corners of tamilnadu …let us not make any landmark out of these things..
I am neither anti trichy nor any real estate agent but just thot that a positive debate is what we should have rather than making global statements without any backing
July 20, 2007 at 7:29 PM
Facts are being twisted by our beloved trichians.
1.People will need to understand that there should be feasibility for developing infrastructure in a city.Maraimalainagar had that feasibility to be developed. It is similar to having a strong foundation to constructing a building..without a strong foundation you cant build anything on it . Trichy atleast as of now does not have the feasible infrastructure to be developed.
MRN’s only feasibility was that it was outskirts of chennai. Other than there is nothing. If you go just beyond MRN, you will see villages just like you see in navalpattu. All you need is couple of good roads and with abundant ground water supply navalpattu has much more than chennai outskirts at 1/5th of the price.
2.Excessive supply is something which is readily available in chennai …i agree with Swamy on that…atleast as of now i dont see much business sense in constructing something new in trichy .Without NEED no one is going to do business.
Can you show some proof. Chennai IT is getting increased but there is lot of demand too. And also the reason to come to trichy is because of less prices in trichy and also TIDEL promoted park will offer everything for free which the software companies cannot get in Chennai. SImple logic. Tier 2 city like trichy means less cost of hiring/retaining/pay/etc for graduates who will be doing basic project work at reduced cost. Then these tier 2 centers will be scaled up and doing great work, just like chennai centers are doing.
3. US slowdown is something which is widely reported…we just need to read business report cards of IT companies like TCS, infy,wipro ..everone is under squeezing margin pressure..TRimurti i will not agree with you when you say IT is the main thing in india..do you know IT contributes to less than 3% of indian exports? Please have the statistics before you make global statement
I think you are mixing facts. TCS is hiring 25000 in 2008, Infy same number, Wipro hiring 15,000. Cognizant is almost project 30 to 35000 – all this for just 2008. In next 5 years IT export will be around 80 billion dollars which will be like 15% of india’s exports. This is not a small number and also IT jobs offer bigger salaries rather than factories thereby giving all round development to place like navalpatu.
4.Going by tamilnadu politics trend no one would be suprised if DMK is followed by ADMK govt…that has been the way so far..
I think this is wrong. We should not get into politics. Initially it was OFT, then ‘no infrastruure’ then now ADMK coming again. What is next, “Vijayakanth coming to power after ADMK thereby shifting everything to cuddalor !!!”
I do not want to comment on size of police colony or rajarajeswari temples…we have umpteen number of these in all street corners of tamilnadu …let us not make any landmark out of these things..
I am neither anti trichy nor any real estate agent but just thot that a positive debate is what we should have rather than making global statements without any backing
Guys IT is coming to ITrichy, let us celebrate. All pointers are towards that. With IT companies expanding and hiring in tens of thousands and want to cut costs, places like madurai, trichy, vizag, hubli, mangalore, etc will be booming….

Ravi,
Really good news.
July 23, 2007 at 4:52 PM
Very good news Ravi.
For all of those who stood by me and ITrichy, congrats.
Note that I am neither a real estate broker nor a investor. IT is an emerging area for Tamilnadu which can lift out of poverty many lower middle class people (either by direct and indirect employment).
So far unfarily only Chennai has benefited immensly.
Now it is time for Trichians also to benefit.
Let us all celebrate and congratulate the government and the hard work Umashankar, Chairman of ELCOT.

Hi friends,
A good news for Tiruchians..
Bahrathidasan university’s requesition to declare it as a central university is under consideration of HR ministry and it’ll be the first central university in our state if it is granted.
July 24, 2007 at 12:34 PM
Prem,
Thanks for sharing the news
I would like to know Is there any benefit if it is declared as a central universtiy?
July 25, 2007 at 4:03 AM
hi prem and shatha kumar
what was the outcome of the meeting with shiva m.p
July 25, 2007 at 4:48 AM
Hi Alsama,
If Bharathidasan university has been declared as a central university it’ll get more funds for research activities. Become a prestigeous university. The university could become a competetor at national level. start New rare courses with the help of HR ministry. More over it’ll be the first central university in tamilnadu.
July 25, 2007 at 4:51 AM
Hello Malai,
There is no response from public or student side for us. They are just sharing informations and not coming out with a solution. We 2 persons alone went to Trichy Siva and no one is willing to join us to represent the problems.
July 25, 2007 at 6:37 AM
Prem,
Thanks for your input about the advantage of central university.

Hi all,
This was interesting to read with more of exchanging views/opinions. When this was created for benefit of trichy there must be more ‘informative’ messages so that all ‘share’ knowledge. esp. for people like us who are outside trichy.
Its good news about trichy getting more developments which will allow our children to get stay closer to their parents. Morever, positive signs like this is needed for growth of the city in all ways. But the sad part is that agricultural lands are slowly being converted to plots and vegetation is becoming less. Just a note to everyone to be aware that if the developers will involve and use ‘green’ technology not to have adverse effect on the enviornment then trichy ‘greenary’ and water level will not be destroyed.
In the long run, there need to more awareness on the pollution that can be caused by the ‘disposal ‘ of the components causing hazards to health. Do youknow about the scrap yards of computer chips and components (PCBs) ? Though there are many such yards around B’lore, children are the main victims of the ‘hazardous’ chemicals coming out of it while destroyingthem. There will be more such yards due to ‘cheap’ labor here and future you could expect such ‘cottage’ industries on the outskirts of the ‘developed’ city where some businessmen benefit and some poor laboreres make their living by living on these hazards generated.
You know back in the Gulf many know trichy as place of ‘green’ and lets see that this will be staying so by planting more trees even with IT parks coming up.
can anyone say if there is any special schemes for the farmer to sell his produces, to cultivate crops in his farm. the cost of labor for cultivation varies with the inflation while his produces dont get much.
Already people do use equipments, transport,etc causing lot of air pollution cause for rise in respiratory diseases. This steady increase is seen all over, but we need to get the first ‘bio-fuel’ used car (if possible) and get more awareness of dumping plastics in the city area. Use more paper bags and ban plastic bags , dispose hosuehold garbage in special area. collection so on….lots we can do to keep our city CLEAN.
I do not know how long this will take….may be a dream..

Prem,
One of my friend is working in Allsec Technologoies Chennai.
He confirmed next month they are going to open their unit in
Trichy. I am not sure about the Area.

HI SWAMY DO YOU WANT ANY THING MORE AS PROOF FOR ‘ALLSEC TECH’
July 27, 2007 at 4:46 AM
Hi friends,
Few peoples here blame us that we are real estate agents. They use this blogging area for time pass. They are not interested in the improvement of Trichy. I accept that my slang is not as good as such persons. Myself and Shanthavel were taking steps to submit our proposals to Mr. Trichy N. Siva MP. I hope soon Trichy will become well-developed city.
July 27, 2007 at 7:13 AM
Hi Premkumar & Shanthavel, firstly, thank you very much for all your great effort, Love and affection towards the development of Trichy in particular.
Well, at this point of time, would wish to share my experience and feelings, derived from my meetings with different kind of Tamil speaking people all over Tamil Nadu state(including all India), as well as, around the World, in the course of my business activities, it rather seems that generally, Tamilians I’ve met have a high rate of hatred, jealousy and unhappiness towards Trichy city being developed into a major city, next to Chennai, particularly, those from outside Trichy’s southern and western districts.
Hence, as such, not surprised to see some of those writings in this blog, having some semblance of hatredness towards Trichy. Therefore, please take these criticisms into your stride, and do not feel let down, in the course of your great work and sacrifice, being rendered towards Trichy city developments, and wish for your continuance with your meetings with top influential political decision makers, though, personally, I’m unable to contribute for the cause at this moment, due to my work commitments, but however, if opportunity permits, I’ll definetely will show up together with your goodselves mates.
Also, would wish to further comment, that whatever changes may take place, by means of physical, political, social etc, one thing is clear, that Trichy’s strategic location will never ever be changed. That gifted strategic location of Trichy, is enough to serve as an heartbeat of Tamil Nadu state’s progress, peace, cohesive, stable, prosperity and balanced Tamil Nadu economy. CHEERS & VAZGHA TRICHY, VAZGHA TAMILAGAM.

Hi,
What is the real estate price now at Navalpattu area. Especially in veerappa nagar of KK estates?
How is the reputation of KK estates in Trichy?
August 2, 2007 at 6:04 PM
I heard veerappa nagar is next to IT/ITES SEZ. Eventhough it is approved buying is risky bcoz of “chance of acquiring”. I feel buying 1 km away from veerappa nagar is better that too i thought of buying on left side of the road while travelling from police colony to tiruverumbur.
August 2, 2007 at 6:37 PM
i forgot to add to my answer. As far as my enquiry concerned land is selling @ Rs.175 -190 per sq.ft in that area.
August 3, 2007 at 6:30 AM
i heard the news that a private party has intrested in setting up a water theme park near kudamurrati…i confirmed when this news printed in DAILY THANTHI on wednesday under the section trichy city(managara) news…. that the work is going smoothly
August 3, 2007 at 5:50 PM
hi guys its great news for all of us….
i and premkumar met mr.tiruchy siva mp today… he assured that the it park would soon be innaugurated in trichy very soon by the cm…..
he also told us that as soon as he took oath as mp…. he has invited another bpo company called e4e… to start its operation in trichy….. they have assured that they will soon start in trichy…. he s really interested to give a kick start to the it industry in trichy.. and he is trying his level best to do so… he also is very eager to know your feedback and ideas…… here after you ll be hearing a lot of news about companies starting in trichy… due to mr.siva’s steps.. hope to hear from you guys..
August 3, 2007 at 8:24 PM
I think what each Tier II city needs is one significant IT player to set up shop and show that it can be a success. Others will automatically follow. Eg. Cognizant in Coimbatore. Of course, there are other positive factors that helped coimbatore – its image as the entrepreneurial and hip city, its climate, the raising number of educational institutions etc. Hopefully, it does not become like another Chennai, bloated with immigrant population leading to the quality of life being decreased. Bangalore has become like that now and TN should avoid it by spreading the wealth to Tier II.
August 4, 2007 at 8:02 AM
DA,
I am Madhavan currently in UK, I am basically from trichy BHEL. Iam very happy to see a dedicated website for Trichy.I am thankfull to all the people who contributed this forum and all the information . Its really a happy news that Trichy getting IT industry.

August 4, 2007 at 8:19 AM
Hi.. Mr. Madavan,

All the national Highways are under expansion (4 Lane).
1. Trichy -tanjore road
2. Trichy-Pudukottai road
3. Trichy- Chennai Road
4.Trichy – madurai Road

Hi Priya,
Thanks, and do not try to brag about Coimbatore in this Trichy blog. If Coimbatore has many distinct advantages in being successful, so is Trichy as well.
So, definitely there is no fear or to dream of Combatore, in being another Chennai. In fact, Trichy has been the most viable potential of being another Chennai, so much so, that the late Chief Mininster MGR, decided to turn Trichy, into the capital of Tamil Nadu state in 1981 then, whilst, Chennai being the Business/Financial centre.
But unfortunately, the late Chief Minister MGR dream and vision on Trichy being the capital city, did not materialise, due to the vested political involvements, which is still continuing till today.
Hence, if not for the vested political involvements, Trichy, perhaps, by now, could be boasting of being a hub of IT industries, next to Chennai and Bangalore, and at the same time, being far ahead of those planned proposed IT parks at various other Tier II cities in Tamil Nadu state.
Nevertheless, Trichy is still the limelight and highlight of all political parties of Tamil Nadu state, and fortunately now, with the centre and state government having a cordial relationship, this is the best opportunity of all times, in taking steps on the utilisation of strategic advantages, by turning Trichy into another Chennai, with which, believe, could be easily attainable, since, certain main fundamentals are already, or in the implementation stages there.
Well, only pray and hope, no vested political involvements, at least for this period of time.

E4E was planing to start its operations from either Trichy, Coimbatore or Pondicherry. Have they confirmed on Trichy operations??
August 6, 2007 at 5:47 AM
Well, if Dell is confirmed to start it’s operation in Trichy, this will certainly prompt many other major local and international potential investors, to venture into this gifted strategically located Trichy, which is slowly but surely, would turn into an cosmopolitant city in the very near future, perhaps, could even be the second capital of Tamil Nadu state by then. May God bless TRICHY.
August 6, 2007 at 6:19 AM
Hi Guys,
I checked in the e4e website and they are intrested to set up their 3 rd unit and considering Pondy,coimbatore and Trichy.
If Siva MP help us to bring the company to Trichy it will be gr8 help for everybody.
Santhavel and Prem you have done excellent job.
Below is the link for e4e 3rd unit proposal.

it will be really good for trichy if dell comes to trichy.political backing should be there for these kind of investments to come to trichy.i hope frequent meetings with mp by our blog mates will help to attract new foreign investments too.
August 6, 2007 at 8:39 AM
Hi,
If politician push it will be faster. It is benefit for both .!
August 6, 2007 at 9:02 AM
Hi A.Kumar,
Can you be able to confirm, whether it’s ‘DELL’ or ‘BHEL’ as per the dailythanthi news article. Think, could be “BHEL” instead, since, planning expansion programme of similar scale.
August 6, 2007 at 12:21 PM
The article says it is DELL, but I think it is BHEL. It should be typo error.
August 6, 2007 at 12:31 PM
It is BHEL and not DELL..i read it in HINDU

Plz. understand in our country there are 300+ SEZ’s are notified.
In Trichy District as far as my knowledge concerned 2 SEZ has been notified.
1. IT/ITES SEZ in Navapattu promoted by ELCOT
2. MultiProduct SEZ in Perambalur promoted by TIDCO
TIDCO has been awared contract to GMR to develop the Perambalur SEZ.
The list hasan has been provided is “another SEZ” ( apart from perambalur) planned in Krishnagiri district which was awarded to the same GMR
NO Bad luck at all…
We are lucky enough…….
Plz. post ur article with care.
August 6, 2007 at 8:15 PM
Hi Maran, I was not trying to brag about Coimbatore. I am from Trichy and I would only be glad to see Tiruchi developing. But your enthusiasm seems naive.
This forum focuses so much on speculation rather than generating ideas on what can be done to better-sell Trichy. Can common folks like us do anything about it ? How do we pressurize our political representatives to lobby for Trichy ? First of all, how do we get accurate information about the developmental plans ? Who is the right source – MP Siva / Mayor / Collector Vachani ? What is the exact plan of the State goverment to nourish Tier II ?
Let’s talk about all this stuff rather than just hoping and praying, which won’t get us any where.
: Priya
August 7, 2007 at 7:50 AM
I will have to agree with Priya although i wish it was otherwise. There is just tooooo much speculation in here!
Looking for accurate information?? You are never gonna get it! If political system in india had transperancy it would be a different place alltogether! Politicians in india are FREAKS who mislead the public with wrong information/false promises and the media backs it up without any verification. This is one reason why its just pointless to believe in newspaper links posted in this blog. Media in india doesn’t have any f**ng credibility.
I really appreciate the efforts of Maran and a few others to talk to the MP however i wish to let them know that this MP is only “some John doe” and has no clue about real facts. By talking to you and promising to address issues this guy has only acted like a typical Indian politician – acknowledge the presence if it’s youth or the educated and deliver a charged speech if it’s the illetrate! A true politician understands the issues and doesn’t need to be told of it instead.
I have mentioned this before in the blog and wish to mention it here again…. “Our woeful voting habits has only resulted in LOSERS governing us”. In the bigger context of things we ought to create awareness among the voters to assume the role of “stake holders” to vote for performance rather than for emotional issues and freebies.
Unless this sort of awareness is established, indians will be dummies who only aspire but never progress. Add to it, tons of blog space and talk shows that never go beyond a handful of highly educated.

August 19, 2007 at 8:49 AM
There is no activity coz between Nov-2006 and now there is only talk of a IT Park but no action. It goes to prove my earlier scathing comments about India and its governance frame work. From planning commissions to the nuclear deal it’s always been a grand failure of sorts! Goes to show why India is under developed even after 60 years of independence….
Another year on, this blog would only be rife with speculations as ever! I bet quite a few of those chickens will reply to this comment with crap newspaper links and comments that will only be compeltely irrelevant.
I sure as hell expect one of you to bark at me to “stop criticising” and offer a solution. This strong criticism in my own way is a side kick for solution coz it’s only when we realize our faults can we identify remedies. In india’s case even thats gonna be difficult. It simply is NOT possible for a billion population divided by a racist caste system and different languages to fall in line.
It’s just inhuman to expect any individual to bring a change here! At the moment, it appears that you just either rot along with the rest or hope for all this cribbing to bring in a divine miracle! God help this country!

Any latest updates for IT PARK Trichy?
August 21, 2007 at 11:59 AM
Instead of concentrating on IT park, we can think of developing other industires in Trichy. IT parks are developed in most of the Tier I and II cities and surely Trichy lags behind them. In chennai itself so many IT parks are coming, dont know whether companies will come to trichy or not.
Trichy has good engineering industrial potential. CII, govenrment etc should try to bring companies like L&T, ABB, Suzlon other such companies.

August 28, 2007 at 7:23 AM
Mano, I suggest you stay away from this so so IT Park. They(brokers and land owners) are scammers who will ripp you off if they sense a chance. There ISN’Tany IT park planned in trichy.
It was only a lame proposal by some twit politicians and before you know tons of speculation including this blog created a virtual IT Park in a fantasy land. Just to get an indication, check out the publishing date of this blog – The IT park speculations started flourishing at least couple of months earlier to this blog date. Its been a year since then and that piece of shitty IT park site is still the same old dusty land.
I seriously recommend you not to invest in properties at India as lack of infrastructure and absence of policies/vision to pursue alternative energy, use of resources,environment protection, unchecked terorrism and creaking justice is making the country one of the worst places in the planet to live. Add to it the lack of respect for human lives with the increasing number of scammers and utter disregard for safety!
Here are a few alternatives – Malaysia with its good infrastructure and low cost of living. Spain – Low cost of living, Dubai – Freehold options, Cambodia – Very cheap cost of living with an improving infrastructure, Australia and canada. The properties in the above countries costs less or equivalent to what you would pay in Chennai,Bangalore, Mumbai and even trichy. Give it a shot…at least the regulations in these countries offer you complete protection from scammers giving you the option to dispose your property without worrying about politicians,rowdies and encroachers(one memeber of this blog faced all of it while buying a property near that so called IT park).
Good luck

when the market rate in navalpattu is around 120-130 per sft , why are crazy guys quoting rates of 600 or 700 per sft …there is a limit for looting people…all investors beware of such thugs ..yes i call them thugs because they are no less than thieves..ready to loot and rape investors from UK, US..and last …u will have the hearitest laught when u know that there is no IT park going to come in navalpattu..i know lots of brokers in this blog will come with some stupid URL links of IT Park and all that bull story
August 28, 2007 at 10:55 PM
Well Mano, if you are planning to return back and stay in Trichy and work in Trichy IT Park, then you must probably change your profession to farming.
You’d be better off buying a home closer to town than stay in the middle of nowhere even if the so-called IT Park came up.
Let’s say you are only contemplating on investing then 700 Rs for a sq feet in that remote place is not a wise decision. As kathir says 120-130 looks more realistic.

Lattest news abt IT park from Hindu…
A partial design for the Tiruchi IT Park has already been prepared. The next stage is to float tenders for construction of one million square feet built-up space on a 50-acre plot, for which Special Economic Zone (SEZ) status has already been obtained, through joint venture with IT companies.
The ELCOT is likely to use the tender document of the Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation as a model. The remaining land in the 135-acre IT park would be given to bigger players and, if needed, the over 100 acres of additional land adjacent to the area would be utilised. The Managing Director of ELCOT, C. Umashankar, said that there was no doubt about the marketability of Tiruchi IT Park. In terms of human resource availability and connectivity, Tiruchi ranks next only to Hosur among the tier-II cities where the works are set to begin, he said, sounding certain that once the necessary infrastructure, power, water and road are in place, the entire land would be sold out. While the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board is making an estimate of power requirements for the IT Park, the Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage Board is determining the water requirements.
Land at the IT Park would be provided to the TNEB for installing a sub-station, said Mr. Umashankar. Likewise, the preparatory tasks such as soil testing and geo survey are also being carried out.
The ELCOT is looking forward to creation of a four-lane road between the IT Park and the Airport. It has requested the district administration to facilitate the handover of the 100-feet road linking Navalpattu and Tiruchi-Pudukottai Highway to the Highways department.

trimurthi has already p pasted that . Now having getting the confirmation buying a plot for 150 – 200 per sq. ft is a good bet for long term. In trichy the rate per sq. ft in tv.koil, kk nager, vasan nager, any decent locality it is around 300 – 400. i think it is the right time to invest .
August 31, 2007 at 12:20 PM
Chitru, i am considering to buy a plot in veerappa nagar.but I hesitate to enter into buying. Can you provide your cousin contact number?.
Since veerappa nagar very near( just 60 feet) to proposed IT park, i am fearful to buy near to that. If your cousin know any other property for sale just 0.5 to 1 kms away from veerappa nagar let me know.
September 1, 2007 at 12:22 AM
Chitru:
I am interested in buying some plot(s) from KK Nagar to Navalpattu , cash down, (Rs 550 – 650 / Sq Feet) , should have clear marketable title.
September 1, 2007 at 12:05 PM
Dear kumar
since my cousin is in us my father suggested this site. i am personally satisfied. because this site is not that much close to it park. what i personally feel is that this is being laid out newly and the approval has been obtained only after this it park proposal. Had the govt has the proposal of acquisition they would not have granted the approval. any way it is left to your choice. Bu in that area i dont find any well developed site like veerapa, may be we can expect some in the years to come

5-start hotel opposite Trichy Airport
——————————————————————————–
Here is the information from the KK real estate website.
The influence of the Airport expansion and the IT park approval has been felt in Tiruchy Real Estate arena. With a 5-star hotel to come up opposite to the Airport, a marriage hall and a shopping center adjacent to it, the real estate activities has gained momentum near the IT Park.
Is it really true? or Just a marketing propaganda? Anyone have any insight?

Anything can happen if IT park foundation is laid. That may be true as a star hotel in that area will be a good one as it s very close to the airport and the it park.

Tender shortly for construction of Trichy IT Park
——————————————————————————–
Architectural design for the proposed IT Park at Navalpattu in Tiruchi district is getting ready and the Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu (ELCOT) is preparing tender documents.
A partial design for the Tiruchi IT Park has already been prepared. The next stage is to float tenders for construction of one million square feet built-up space on a 50-acre plot, for which Special Economic Zone (SEZ) status has already been obtained, through joint venture with IT companies.

The Managing Director of ELCOT, C. Umashankar, said that there was no doubt about the marketability of Tiruchi IT Park — Is he saying that Trichy IT park is yet to be marketed???
he said, sounding certain that once the necessary infrastructure, power, water and road are in place, the entire land would be sold out —- Is he saying that none have been sold till date ???
The above statements are really confusing!!! But, it is good to hear atleast something is happening.

Encouraged by the real estate growth story in India Akshaya Homes is planning to expand its business in major South Indian cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad, Coimbatore, Madurai and Tiruchirapalli in the current fiscal.
As part of its expansion plans, company would build up a ‘land bank’ in these cities and was in the process of acquiring land, Akshaya Homes’ Managing Director Chitty Babu said.
The Chennai-based realty firm would also come up with special economic zones at Coimbatore, Madurai and Tiruchirapalli dedicated to IT and IT enabled services, he Babu added further.

G V Films to build multiplexes in tier 2 TN cities
6 September 2007
Chennai: The Chennai-based Rs41.65-crore turnover G V Films Limited has decided to build an integrated commercial complex housing shopping mall, multiplexes and hotel in 23 Tier 2 cities in Tamil Nadu.
“Branded as GV Studio City, the complex will house a shopping mall, multiplexes (3-5 screens) and a hotel,” said A Venkatramani, director.
The cities that are on G V Films radar are thriving business cities of Tamil Nadu. “There are no integrated complexes in Tier 2 cities even though cost is not a factor for the viewers. Further the GV Studio City will become the landmark structure in those cities,” he explained.
“The first GV Studio City will be inaugurated in Thanjavur shortly. We are negotiating for land in Coimbatore, Trichy and Madurai,” added V Subramonian, CEO.
Each project would cost between Rs25 and Rs.40 crore and will be financed through a mix of debt and internal accruals.
According to Subramonian, the company will first complete the projects in Tamil Nadu before branching off to other states.
Meanwhile the company is continuing negotiations with Shanghai Film Group Corporation of Shanghai Media and Entertainment Group and Growth Global Limited, UK to set up GV Studio City in Shanghai and China.
On the proposal to demerge the company’s operations into three different entities, Subramonian said Bombay Stock Exchange’s (BSE) sanction was awaited. Once thje approval has been obtained, G V Films will approach the Madras High Court for its permission.
He also said the company’s internet division would start operations shortly. The company has bought the internet rights for several Indian and 8,000 Hollywood movies. These will be streamed for a fee.
“We can also dub these movies in Indian languages and release them here. The dubbing cost will be low while the revenue potential is high,” Subramonian added.
The company hopes to nearly double its top and bottomline this fiscal

NASSCOM identifies TRICHY & other tier-2 cities for IT Growth prospectus areas
http://www.thehindu.com/2007/09/30/stories/2007093055591900.htm
October 1, 2007 at 9:55 PM
From the comments posted here and various other sources I see that few developments are happening in Trichy
Better Road network.
— Chennai Trichy 4 lane is underway
— Trichy Madurai 4 lane is underway
— Trichy Tanjavur 4 lane identified
— Trichy Karur upgradation identified — Reliance has bagged this project
— Trichy Pudukottai 4 lane identified.
Medium sized BPO’s like Allsec and Firstsource confirmed plans in Trichy
TN Industrial Policy shifts focus to Tier II cities and Trichy definitely has a piece of it to grab.
The reason why focus is shifting to Tier II cities is congestion, high prices and insufficient infrastructure in Metros.
Ironically the govt seems to have no policy in place to ensure that this doesn’t repeat in Tier II cities as well.
October 3, 2007 at 6:16 AM
i am very happy, graph of trichy is very steeper, my hometown is getting improvements, navalpattu is the suitable place for IT park

Today i read “THE HINDU” about the progressive steps taken by our government regarding IT hubs and interestingly found about their activities in Tirunelveli district… When comparing Tirunelveli with Trichy, our city Trichy has more positive attributes for any IT company or any industry to start with… Lets hope the Best to happen in the comming months…
October 12, 2007 at 7:32 AM
Yes, government is spending Rs 100 crores for development of infrastructure in the IT park cities.This is really a positive step.Tichy has its own advantage and lets hope for the best.
October 12, 2007 at 7:56 AM
Does Trichy has the real potential in attracting IT companies??????????? I have my reservation………….???????????? after reading this article:
October 12, 2007 at 9:18 AM
I put a question after reading the URL, Mr. Jeeva’s mentioned, which tells that all IT park space has been alloted other than Trichy, Salem and Hosur… Why is it so.. has not any company approached for these areas.. Ialso wonder not even a single plan or work has been stated or started in particular in Trichy IT park mentioned region…
October 12, 2007 at 2:01 PM
IT companies have been allocated land in IT parks including Trichy,but there is no breakup unless ELCOT comes out and tells what company is allotted to which IT park.
Anyway, I dont know if ELCOT is having a clear plan. Right now it seems they are promoting southern districts.

Unfortunately no information either from Elcot or the companies about the plan for Trichy IT park.
We just keep hearing that companies are very much interested in Trichy IT park, but really nothing is happening.
October 18, 2007 at 8:02 AM
As kumar said, it is big disappointment for us.
Govt is not taking any initiative for Trichy
October 18, 2007 at 1:58 PM
Mr.Uma Shankar of Elcot is from Tirunelveli,so atleast to some extend he will be favoring his home town Tirunelveli.
October 19, 2007 at 12:44 AM
Kumar,
You have given good input. but, still you know
Raja IT Minister is from our Home town, He never takes any initiative. That is big loss for Trichians. 😦
October 19, 2007 at 5:40 AM
Yes, it is sad and hurting to see that our own people arent taking any initiative to improve the home town.
What is the use of having IT minister from our home town when other cities are getting priority??
October 19, 2007 at 6:21 AM

October 25, 2007 at 7:03 AM
Trichy need to get good flight connectivity to other Indian destinations. There is no flight to national capital delhi or economic capital mumbai. Flights to and from chennai and bangalore not in ideal timing for business people to travel.
That is also one of the reason stated for IT companies not coming to trichy.
October 25, 2007 at 12:12 PM
Other than Cognizant and sutherland wat are the IT companies will come in Trichy IT Industry.
October 25, 2007 at 1:38 PM
I dont think IT companies wont come to Trichy.At this point companies are interested in other cities like Coimbatore or Madurai over Trichy due to lack of air connectivity.But things can change when couple of air operators start flying convenient timings.Also I dont think IT companies can be blind to the rich resources available in and around Trichy.This is a good reason for Trichy City and Industry to improve the infrastructure and better air connectivity.
October 25, 2007 at 1:40 PM
Also if IT companies arent coming, why would ELCOT request additional 120 acres land for expansion?
October 25, 2007 at 2:11 PM
Since, all like minded people view Trichy as equal IT potential destination, just as with Madurai and Coimbatore, then why the various air operators not coming forward to operate at Trichy till now?
October 25, 2007 at 3:14 PM
let me convey onething… there is no point of comparing Trichy’s Air potential with Madurai or coimbatore… the Air trafic is far far better than the other two. As i have already read in this blog Trichy stands at 12th position in India… I dont think so that IT companies will compare Trichy with other destinations regarding Air Travel facilities… Moreover Trichy has the best connectivity thro Train and Roadways (even as the geographical center of Tamilnadu ) no one can make any negative point I think…
October 25, 2007 at 7:07 PM

Dear Sir,
Happy to see your mail. Sutherland, CTS, HCL have been allotted lands sofar. We are expecting some other big firms to occupy Tiruchy for thebenefits of students pool in and around Tiruchy.

November 12, 2007 at 2:49 PM
how many MNCs opened their trichy offices?
and when will the IT park has to be inaugrated?
November 13, 2007 at 1:18 AM
Vanitha,
This is the info from the URL:
BANGALORE: Tirunelveli and Trichy, Durgapur and Dankuni hardly trip off the tongue of most Indian IT professionals living in the established hot spots of the information technology industry.
But these small backwood towns have joined the race to become the next Indian IT destinations, as Bangalore and other big cities battle soaring costs, talent shortages and overloaded, inadequate infrastructure.
Already IT companies are biting the bait, with leading firms such as Tata Consultancy, Wipro and HCL lining up for land in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal states.
“We are seeing a very active dispersal of the industry from the bigger to the small towns and small to even smaller,” said Kiran Karnik, president of the National Association of Software and Service Companies.
“The current will accelerate once the physical infrastructure is in place,” said Karnik, the head of India’s top IT industry body. “It will result in a more even dispersal of employment and economic development across the country.”
State governments are luring firms to the hinterland by promising quick land allotments, a vast pool of engineers, uninterrupted electricity and telecoms, good roads and air links.
They are also trying to promote a superior quality of living in self-contained residential townships at a fraction of the cost of Bangalore, New Delhi and Mumbai.
Tirunelveli and Trichy are among several locations being promoted by the southern state of Tamil Nadu.
“We are very focused on building Tamil Nadu as the most preferred IT destination,” said C Umashankar, managing director of the Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu.
IT parks are being constructed or planned in several Tamil Nadu towns, including Tirunelveli, Trichy, Coimbatore and Madurai.
Road and air connectivity is also being reinforced in India’s only power-surplus state, which has set apart 2,340 acres of land for the IT industry.
West Bengal is also rushing to catch up, promoting towns such as Durgapur, Dakuni, Siliguri and Haldia with planned tax-free special economic zones devoted to the industry.
About 20 million square feet is also under construction in state capital Kolkata that will be ready for occupation in the next two years, the state’s information technology minister Debesh Das said.
“But we want inclusive growth that’s not just limited to Kolkata,” Das said. “We want IT to go to the small towns.”
India’s 50 billion dollar IT industry, which employs an estimated 1.6 million people, has been largely been confined to the big cities such as Bangalore, the New Delhi suburbs, Mumbai and Hyderabad.
As economic growth steams along at an annual rate of nine percent, howeverm real estate costs have doubled in such cities in the past four years — while IT salaries have been growing at an average annual pace of 18 percent.
Infrastructure has meanwhile failed to keep pace, with IT firms complaining of everything from traffic snarls and shortages of housing, power and water to high costs and lack of sufficient professional talent.
Tamil Nadu produces 110,00 engineers every year, and most of them would rather stay within their small-town confines, said Umashankar. West Bengal projects the number of its IT employees to rise fourfold to 200,000 by 2010.
November 13, 2007 at 7:28 AM
Hai Ganapathy,
Thanks for ur valuable Information. Other than CTS,Sutherland and HCL what the companies will come in Trichy.Is tat work start next year January?.
November 13, 2007 at 8:56 AM
As far as i know only CTS and Sutherland have been alloted land in Trichy. HCL has been alloted land in Madurai. Im not sure about rumour on Wipro in Trichy as few months back i read in tamil daily that they were going to operate from Madurai.
November 13, 2007 at 2:34 PM
Based on Elcot the nodal agency, HCL has been allotted land in Trichy too.May be they are still working on the papers.Regarding Wipro, somebody in this blog had mentioned that there was news in October 25th Dinamalar paper regarding Wipro negotiating space in Trichy IT park.
November 14, 2007 at 2:38 AM
Hi,
I heard from some Real estate agent wipro bought seperate land on Pudukotai Road.
Really I am not sure about this news.
November 14, 2007 at 5:00 AM
I dont understand why Wipro would buy land in Pudukottai road when govt is offering SEZ status land at IT Park. Its just a rumour.
November 14, 2007 at 5:12 AM
satyam computers got 50 acres in madurai it park see 13/11/2007, hindu page 4
November 14, 2007 at 5:28 AM
After one year and 458 comments the IT Park is still on rumours,news reports and speculative stories – A classic example of failure and lack of progressive growth in India!
Good luck!
November 14, 2007 at 7:02 AM

From the above news it looks like only Sutherland has been alloted land(10 acres) at Trichy IT park. It says that talks are on with CTS, but doesnt say anything about allotment of land to them. Its sad that nodal officer hasn’t said anything about Wipro’s plans :-(.

Heared that the 120 ft road work will start Jan / Feb and the required fund has been allloted it seems.
Has any one know details abt Veerapa Nagar? Has anyone bought plots at Veerapa Nagar?
November 28, 2007 at 5:17 AM
FYI,
The 120 ft road will be extended up to 200 ft. I heard that the govt will do land accusation another 80 ft for road formation. I advised the buyers should clarify before buy the first layer plots near buy 120 ft roads.
November 29, 2007 at 3:50 AM
yes they have done jainagar nearby previously which is also sold out.
any way check the title clearly before purchasing. we have seen it ,it seems to be pucca, if you have an idea to buy before the work starts, it may costs 100 rs more per sq.ft when the work for it park starts

Should we discuss about real estate stuff here ?. I think its better to concentrate on IT parks and related stuff rather than real estate.
November 30, 2007 at 9:28 AM
AGREED !
November 30, 2007 at 9:37 AM
Hello Real estate viewers,
This is a wonderful forum to monitor trichy city developments daily. Plz avoid real estate queries, So many forums are available especially for real estate. This site not launched for real estate. Going forward plz avoid this kind of queries…
November 30, 2007 at 9:54 AM
Dear All,
Pls contribute in a better way. Pls avoid commercial activities here…
Better keep away from this site rather than diluting this site..
December 1, 2007 at 1:34 PM
there is no news to talk about IT , so everybody are talking about real estate and the news so far heard about IT in trichy, is all in papers and nothing in real.
December 7, 2007 at 11:32 PM
Cognizant Technology Solutions and Sutherlands Global Services have been allotted 10 acres each in the IT Park. Sutherlands has confirmed acceptance. Several smaller companies have also evinced interest in starting their operations. Allotment of land would be made for these export-oriented companies through ‘open expression of interest’, said Mr. Umashankar, predicting that the actual work could commence after these procedures during February or March, 2008.
http://www.hindu.com/2007/12/08/stories/2007120856560200.htm
Finally Mr. Umashankar has put a full stop to all the rumours. Only CTS and Sutherland have been alloted land(10 acres each), of this only Sutherland has confirmed acceptance.
December 9, 2007 at 3:06 AM
That’s very good news….
December 9, 2007 at 8:58 AM
Selvan that isnt a good news when you compare with Madurai and Tirunelveli. In Madurai ELCOT has alloted 130 acres of land in total to HCL, Satyam, Honeywell, Sutherland and Tessolve. In Tirunelveli 35 acres have been alloted in total to Hexaware and Sutherland.
December 9, 2007 at 9:49 AM
Trichy should become the Texas among Tier ii industries.
Trichy has the best colleges in tier ii cities (NIT TRICHY / SASTRA etc ) which produce quality VLSI engineers. I hope semiconductor companies start investing in Trichy after tier 1 cities.
Moreover Trichy is close to Bangalore ( the silicon valley of India ) and has good infrastructure and resources
December 9, 2007 at 5:22 PM
That’s good news in your angle too…bcoz still we have land in TRICHY for big IT companies like TCS, INFOSYS,WIPRO,etc… They have NOT taken space anyother tier-2 cities apart from CBE.
December 9, 2007 at 6:08 PM
Right.It is not end of the world for Trichy.There are so many IT companies out there and things will start shaping up once the IT park work begins.
December 10, 2007 at 6:02 AM
Hai Guys, it really good to hear. Anyway delvelpoment in Trichy city is very happy news for all.
December 15, 2007 at 11:14 AM

http://www.hindu.com/2007/12/28/stories/2007122860350300.htm
It can be seen as a positive move as these areas uplifted because IT Park (SEZ) work is set to begin soon.
December 29, 2007 at 2:10 AM
It would be very difficult to convince the village panchayat and municipality elected members. These silly politicians would not want to loose theirs posts. They would say all kind of silly reasons like taxes, water charges etc would increase and will oppose it tooth and nail. Already Coimbatore and Madurai is facing the same problem as its trying to increase its boundaries.
I hope the local body elected members around Trichy dont oppose this move.

It would have been more sensible if they had acquired more land first itself. Now bcos of the news of IT park, i think the land rate must have already skyrocketted. Anyway its good that they acquiring it now atleast.
How long will they say that the work on IT park will start soon ?.

Dear Sir,
HAPPY NEW YEAR…
Thanks for the interest shown.

far. Infosys is under expectation.
Panjapur plan got stopped.
Pl do try to attend the programme ‘Empower IT’ which is going to be
conducted by us in Tirunelveli on 18th and 19th this month. It will be

Now the IT companies will start looking SEZ for tax benefits as they will not get this tax benefit from STPI after a short time.

Tiruchi village declared warehousing station
Staff Reporter
TIRUCHI: The office of the Commissioner of Central Excise in Tiruchi has declared Prattiyur in the Srirangam taluk a warehousing station for setting up a 100 percent Export Oriented Unit (EOU), under the Centre’s Software Technology Park Scheme.
The declaration, made by Bhikhoo Ram, Commissioner of Central Excise, Tiruchi, follows the approval granted to the EOU by the Inter-Ministerial Standing Committee in the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Department of Information Technology).
January 11, 2008 at 1:26 PM
The Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu (ELCOT) has roped in the private sector to set up seven IT parks, along with social infrastructure, in different parts of the State to create an ecosystem.
A tender for selecting the private parties will be floated soon. Thereafter, a separate company will be formed, and the joint venture partner will be asked to construct the IT parks ranging from 50 to 100 acres. At present, the ELCOT is setting up IT parks in Chennai (200 acres), Tiruchi (50 acres), Madurai (10 and 250 acres), Tirunelveli (400 acres), Coimbatore (12 acres), Salem (100 acres) and Hosur (191.5 acres).
Talking to The Hindu on Thursday, Information Technology Secretary and ELCOT Chairman C. Chandramouli said: “It is a holistic approach adopted by us to attract and retain the best talent in the industry. Besides, we have committed ourselves to creating a complete ecosystem so that the people can live and walk to work. This is also in line with our Chief Minister’s commitment to taking information technology to Tier-II cities.”
These parks will have 90 per cent of the land allotted for office space and the rest for schools, housing, parks and other amenities.
Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi has laid the foundation for four IT parks. The land for Hosur park is yet to be identified.
“The parks to be set up through Public-Private-Partnership will not only generate employment but also facilitate economic development of the area. This will go a long way in making Tamil Nadu the preferred global IT destination. The development of all the parks are being taken up at the same time,” he said.

January 12, 2008 at 10:17 AM
Good News. Very soon we will see building work as per the news.
January 12, 2008 at 12:23 PM
ELCOT is doing all the talking but no action on the ground. TIDEL parks in tier II cities were announced in 2006, nothing concrete has happened since then except for getting SEZ status. ELCOT plans to develop IT parks with pvt participation but only on 50 acres of land in Trichy. They have much bigger plans for other tier II cities in terms of land area, why is this situation ?.
January 13, 2008 at 5:47 PM
I think somebody posted ELCOT working out another 125 acres in Navalpattu…. Infosys is consideration for that….
We must remember is gone nowhere in any of Tier-2 cities in tamilnadu till now.

ELCOT is going to develop IT park in only 50 acres, thats the lowest among tier II cities after Coimbatore. I really dont understand why then they are looking for 125 acres more ?.
ELCOT is promoting Tirunelveli IT park in a very big way by organising Empower IT campaign together with NASSCOM.
http://www.elcot.in/empowerIT/empowerIT/empower-IT.htm
Coimbatore and Madurai have already emerged ahead of Trichy in IT field and with the above such efforts from govt im afraid even Tirunelveli could get ahead of us. What is union IT minister Mr. Raja doing ?.

January 15, 2008 at 6:15 PM
ELCOT will be constructing its own building in the 50 acre with private partnership and allot the remaining area to big companies.
Here is an earlier news about it.
A partial design for the Tiruchi IT Park has already been prepared. The next stage is to float tenders for construction of one million square feet built-up space on a 50-acre plot, for which Special Economic Zone (SEZ) status has already been obtained, through joint venture with IT companies.
The ELCOT is likely to use the tender document of the Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation as a model. The remaining land in the 135-acre IT park would be given to bigger players and, if needed, the over 100 acres of additional land adjacent to the area would be utilised.

Thanx Kumar for the above news. That news is from Aug 2007, and nothing has happened since then.
Why is there so much delay in this ELCOT project ?.
January 16, 2008 at 1:43 PM
ELCOT is working on developing all the IT parks together, so obviously there is going to be delay.

I heard too they are operating from Thillai Nagar.

January 21, 2008 at 11:23 AM
I hope Infosys considers favourably for setting its facilty for Trichy. More logical too with the best colleges in TN after Chennai ( NIT , ANNA University , Bharthidasan University , SASTRA , BIM , ST JOSEPH, BISHOP HERBER ,HOLY CROSS and scores of other reputed and standard colleges .
Trichy being centrally located is optimally connected to big cities with the benefits of low cost and good infrastructure. Land prices are lower than other comparable cities in TN , transportation facilities above par than bigger cites ( interms of area ) and also a place rich in heritage and famous temples ( Rockfort , Srirangam ,Tiruvanaikkaval , Samayapuram ,Vekkali Amman temple , modern and impeccable Ayyapan temple , vayalur murugan temple, kerela style temples , st john church and many others ) . Its has lots of tourist places closeby like kollihills and pachamalai which are relatively unexplored and where you find even today the tribals of those days , Mukumboo , viralimali which is a temple town as well peacock santuary , planetarium , grand anaicut and close to other temple towns like Tanjore,Kumbakonnam , Vallakani etc.
what we miss today are some big company presence
January 22, 2008 at 11:16 AM
We miss one more thing, flight connection to Bangalore. Infosys is a Bangalore based s/w company and has a stronger presence in Karnataka. This would be a very important factor which Infosys could consider before planning to expand to Trichy.
Its atmost important that we get a connection to Bangalore atleast by this summer.
January 22, 2008 at 6:28 PM
I dont think flight to bangalore will be a deciding factor though bangalore flight is required.Things should fall into place once big companies confirm their presence in Trichy.
January 23, 2008 at 7:08 AM

January 25, 2008 at 10:04 AM
BTW, when will the CM lay foundation stone for TIDEL park in Trichy. Yesterday CM had announced in assembly that the foundation stone will be laid in few days at Madurai.
When an MLA from Madurai is raising such issues in assembly, what was our honourable MLA doing ?.
January 25, 2008 at 11:57 AM
CM didnt say he will lay foundation stone in few days at Madurai. As usual he had said very soon.Our MLAs are all dummy and since they are from the ruling party they cant ask question but beg only.
January 25, 2008 at 12:55 PM
Also it doesnt make any sense to lay foundation stone without any progress forward.In coimbatore, ELCOT has started the work more than a year after foundation stone was laid.TIDEL park by ELCOT will take its own time, instead ELCOT should expedite the land allottment to the IT comapines so they can start their work.

Sundaram Business’ Madurai facility
CHENNAI: Sundaram Business Services (SBS), the BPO (business process outsourcing) arm of Sundaram Finance, has announced its first expansion into a Tier-II city with the setting up of a BPO facility in Madurai.
Addressing a press conference here on Monday, P. S. Raghavan, Executive Director, SBS, said the company was planning to set up a 12,000-sq. ft. BPO delivery facility in Madurai city and would become operational by the middle of next month. As part of this expansion, SBS planned to hire over 500 employees in the next 12 months.
He said the company was also planning to set up a similar centre in Tiruchi. Both these centres would work up to Rs. 10 crore, including infrastructure, manpower and other facilities.
Mr. Raghavan said the company would initially provide policy administration services for one of its leading life insurance customers from the Madurai facility.
T. T. Srinivasaraghavan, Managing Director, Sundaram Finance, said SBS at present had BPO facilities in Chennai, Mumbai and Delhi. In July 2007, it picked up a majority stake in Chennai-based BPO, Professional Management Consultancy (PMC), that doubled its headcount to over 1,600.
He said with the current expansion into Madurai, Sundaram Business would take its headcount to over 2,500 employees this year. He said SBS had a strong presence in the domestic BPO market in the BFSI (banking, financial services and insurance) and manufacturing space. It also had a strong presence in the Australian outsourcing market.

here is the mail which i received from ELCOT about INFOSYS considering trichy.

Dear Sir,
Infosys is considering to give their presence at Tiruchy. Hope for the
best.
Thanks,
G.HATHOON

In my view, companies eyeing at madurai and tirunelveli are looking at graduates for their BPO operation, that is why madurai and tirunelveli which are beyond trichy in educational sector is being considered. But for infosys software professional will be more required hence they may feel their presence in trichy a must than madurai and tirunelveli
January 30, 2008 at 8:31 AM
Then how did Madurai attract more companies like HCL, Honeywell, Sathyam, Sutherland and Tessolve to its ELCOT sponsored IT parks ?. In terms of land allocation also Madurai fares better than Trichy, as more than 130 acres of land have been totally alloted to the above mentioned companies.
But in contrast only 20 acres have been alloted in total to HCL and CTS in Trichy so far. Lets not hide facts, but discuss openely the ups and downs of Trichy.
Madurai has the advantage of attracting the talent pool of the entire southern districts, as there is no big city in south other than Tirunelveli. In case of Trichy we are surrounded by big cities on all sides, and hence if IT kick starts there we would find it difficult to attract talent from those regions. Secondly, Madurai and Coimbatore have better domestic flight connections to Chennai, Bangalore and Mumbai, which we lack.
January 30, 2008 at 10:54 AM
One thing I want to mention here… No city lags behind the one and other. Trichy has big Public sector Units like BHEL, HAPP, even OFT, Hefty Ponmalai Railway workshop (which exports rail engines) and good number of factors… Bunch of Well reputed colleges, Universities etc… etc… Good water resources… and much much more…. very decent life style… A day will certainly come to speak Big in IT sector also… Dont worry Tiruchians… 🙂
January 30, 2008 at 1:50 PM
Madurai and Tirunelveli got IT companies because of influence.Even our CM had personally requested some companies to start their operations in Madurai.Mr.Shiv Nadar and Mr.Umashankar who are from southern districts have contributed for bring companies to Madurai and Tirunelveli.Even Mr.Umashankar had said few months back that they are yet to market Trichy IT Park. I wouldn’t worry as there a lot of companies that cannot be influenced and with talent pool in Trichy, I am positive Trichy get more IT companies in near future.
After Chennai and Coimbatore Trichy contributes to IT exports.
Trichy Guy, I didnt realize that Tanjavur, Pudukottai,Perambular,Ariyalur,Karur are big districts than Tirunelveli,dindugal,Tuticorin,
Kanyikumari
January 30, 2008 at 2:34 PM
I meant big city and not district. Trichy is surrounded by Madurai in the south, Coimbatore and Salem in the west and Chennai in the north.
Since IT has taken off in a big way in Chennai, it would be difficult to attract talent to Trichy from places at a radius of 150 kms from Chennai. Coimbatore is also seeing a surge in IT sector, and if Madurai also joins it then Trichy would find it difficult to attract talent pool from the western and southern parts of TN.
What i meant was, Madurai has the advantage in this regard as it can tap into the talent pool of the entire southern districts.
January 30, 2008 at 4:40 PM
1. Dont be a pessimist,trichy guy, what i mean to say is infy may look trichy as a better place ahead of madurai and tirunelveli because they dont hire any person less than B.E. but all the cos which you mention here tcs,honeywell, hcl sutherland etc., they recruit more no of graduates with or without exp etc., which infy does not do.Hence i swear infy will prefer to go for trichy than madurai and others.Pl note trichy is300 kms away from chennai. it looks similar to that of Bangalore and Mysore where infy has a bigger campus the than bangalore . Instead of getting 10 bpo co, it is better to get 1 infy here in trichy lets hope for the best
January 30, 2008 at 4:43 PM
also if you think it will be difficult just because it is very near, infy has taken a major portion in mahindra city near chengalpattu. this is for information. Now it cos to get the advantage of SEz, has to come atleast to any one of the tier II cities. Lets hope to get infy in trichy.
January 30, 2008 at 4:48 PM
why you always post messages related to other cities madurai and tirunelveli.. etc., try to give some news for trichy it park also
January 30, 2008 at 4:53 PM
How would Madurai has advantage when ELCOT is promoting Tirunelveli? Most of the talent pool would go to Tirunelveli from the southern districts.
January 30, 2008 at 5:13 PM
I really dont know if you understood the point i made. Also at this moment Tirunelveli is not comparable to Madurai or Trichy in the IT field, but Mr. Umashankar is taking great efforts to promote Tirunelveli as an IT destination.
January 31, 2008 at 9:20 AM
Its clear now that next to Coimbatore, ELCOT will be developing TIDEL park at Madurai.
Madurai Tidel Park tender in five weeks
http://www.hindu.com/2008/01/31/stories/2008013157630300.htm
January 31, 2008 at 12:25 PM
we want layout of plots in aalangudi,anna nagar
January 31, 2008 at 1:44 PM
Lets wait for the actual Tender to come.They have been saying this for Trichy too for the past 7-8 months.
January 31, 2008 at 3:43 PM
BPo cos may eye at madurai and tirunelveli in large, but if infy comes to trichy, that itself will be a great boast for us. Its a fact that infy has taken around 125 acres in mahindra park at chengalpattu near chennai.similar in mysore too. I hope out of 135 acres alloted so far 20 acres has been already alloted to sutherland and cts. so i hope talks will be going for remaining entire land. Thats why it is getting late. This is my view if that happens trichians will come out with flying colours. let us hope for the best.

SOME “IT” NEWS ABOUT TRICHY…
http://www.hindu.com/2008/02/01/stories/2008020158070300.htm
February 7, 2008 at 3:14 PM
Wipro to Trichy??
On the move. As a result, BPO companies are beginning to establish operations in smaller cities and to be less reliant on the “Tier I” cities of Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad and Chennai. Over the last few months, industry heavyweights such as MphasiS, Satyam, Wipro (nyse: WIT – news – people ), Tata Consultancy Services (other-otc: TACSF.PK – news – people ) and Infosys have set up BPO facilities in relatively unknown “Tier II” cities such as:
–Mangalore and Trivandrum in the south;
–Chandigarh in the north; and
–Vishakapatnam in the east.
Many of these investors are also setting up multiple facilities in smaller locations. For example, Wipro, which has more than 50,000 employees, is setting up facilities in Kochi and Trivandrum in Kerala, Coimbatore and Trichy in Tamil Nadu, as well as others further north. This movement is not limited to local operations. International investors are also setting up facilities outside Tier I locations:

February 7, 2008 at 7:41 PM
seems to be wipro will be in trichy
February 8, 2008 at 5:20 AM
Looks like things are happening quietly.Lets hope for the best.
February 8, 2008 at 5:26 AM
With such strategic location with world class infrastructures&readily available abundant educated force………………..only stupid businessmen will ignore Trichy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
February 8, 2008 at 7:48 AM
Mr. Jeevan,
I pity on your innocence after seeing your comments… Grow up dude…So you think the businessmen having operations in cities like Blr,chennai,mumbai,hyd,delhi are stupids???
Don’t you think they have done enough studies on each city before setting up their business?
After having 560 comments for more than a year, you don’t realize the reality of the business trend and dreaming IT companies to setup in trichy…Do not think I’m degrading the city.. But this is reality.
Can you list out how many tier-II cities in India have succeeded in attracting IT business? Except Pune, no other cities in India have that potential. Even Vizag (Satyam) in AP, Mysore/Managlaore(Wipro, Infosys) in KA, Coimbatore (CTS, BOSCH, Perot) in TN are struggling to get IT Business. Pune succeeded just because of non-availability of land in Mumbai, Proximity to Mumbai City and Intenational Airport, Similar to Bangalore Climate and World class educational institutions..
Do you think all these facilities are comparable available in your city? (Don’t comeback saying HCL got land in Mdu,Cbe and Wipro,TCS got land in Coimbatore. They got the land, but do you think they will annouce their construction work immediatly and IT exports going to happen from your city in another two years?)
I have seen Wipro’s statements from 2003 -For setting up their business in Cbe. But in real, this is not taking shape even the Govt. has handed the land to Wipro and TCS at Cbe SEZ 6 months back. (Infact, Wipro announced that they will commence their operations in 18 months once the land is handed over in AP and TN. But still its a dream for Vizag and Coimbatore)This might be due to vaious reasons like Rupee appreciation, US Recession etc… But this is the reality…
Unless the IT company announces its construction/development plan for a city, there is nothing reality and its just a hype created by the medias about each city.
I have seen so many comments here blaming MP’s/Ministers have done nothing for bringing IT. If businessmen are not showing interest, the Govt has nothing to do for attracting investors. Be happy atleast the TN Govt is promoting all the tier-II cities for a Tidel park which is not happening in other states.
Cheers….Ram
February 8, 2008 at 8:20 AM
Valid points mr. ram…
This is not only applicable for trichy…
Mr.Jeeva.. pls restrain yourself b4 making such comments.. Since everybody watching … Come up and shown your maturity level…
But onething we can say…
last 30years Tamilnadu government slept as not promoted central and south tamilnadu.. eventhough had a lot of talents…
Atleast in this point of time, DMK government try to promote all Tier II/ Tier III cities…
Hope goodthing will in near future…
In Aviation sector, we have seen good growth since last one year…
Long live India/Tamilnadu/Trichy….
February 8, 2008 at 8:43 AM
As Ram said, it will take sometime for IT companies to establish in Tier-II locations. At present there is a slowdow in IT spendings, so companies are not getting projects as expected. Also I can see there are so many private IT parks getting constructed in chennai and other cities. So the crunch of space in metros/Tier-I cities will get reduce and rental will come down. This may affect the growth of IT in Tier-II cities.
But our TN govt is trying to develop Tier II cities including Trichy which can result in some companies opting for Trichy.
What ever be the case, any IT company will do proper analysis before they start operation from any city. So trichy having good educational institutions, connectivity and decant infrastructure can attract some IT companies in near future.
February 8, 2008 at 12:23 PM
Forbes has mentioned WIPRO will expand its services to Trichy apart from coimbatore in TN. This would be a great boon for Trichy and WIPRO can take advantage of the Best talent pool in TN after Chennai .
This news comes at a time when air connectivity to Trichy is improved from Both Bangalore and Chennai in very good timings.God bless Air Deccan/Kingfisher.
Now whenever there is hotel space problem in Bangalore you can stay in Trichy , go to bangalore attend your meetings and come back the same day. Hotel are much cheaper and give quality service at reasonble cost.The cost of hotel + to / fro travel in trichy will still be substantially cheaper than staying in Bangalore
February 8, 2008 at 2:13 PM
Thanks to all Trichy Gurus, for your tremendous efforts, making this blog live.
Today’s Hindu there is a news on Salem IT park as given below:
Caution: Salem district administration has placed a board, warning people not to take minerals from the site selected for the establishment of Information Technology Park.
Following is the link:
http://www.hindu.com/2008/02/08/stories/2008020851450300.htm
—-
Apologise, as I am highlighting in this Trichy IT blog about Salem, since a similar Tresspassing warning is placed in our Trichy IT park by Trichy administration, it would boost all our hope to little extent, that some thing is in progress by local administration side.
February 11, 2008 at 1:48 PM
Many might not know that most of the people having some kind of official work in Bangalore actually stay in Chennai and commute to Bangalore.This is due to high hotel cost in Bangalore.I definitely think it would be a good idea if these customers can be convinced to stay in Trichy which is cheaper than Chennai.May be Hotel and Airlines can work on a package for these type of customers.
February 11, 2008 at 2:06 PM
First of all we dont have a 5 star hotel in Trichy. We have only a hand full of 3 or 4 star hotels. Then how can we attract business client from say Bangalore to stay in Trichy ?.
Leave alone business clients, even foreign and inland tourists skip over night stay at Trichy due to lack of good accomodation. I came to know from a tour operator that most other tour operators and agencies plan their schedule in such a way that they have the over night stay at Madurai.
February 12, 2008 at 3:32 AM
In dinamalar “Trichy district edition” you can find news about the Trichy IT park…. http://www.dinamalar.com/
February 12, 2008 at 3:52 AM
This blog was first posted in Nov 2006 – the most recent comments are in Feb 2008 – still no signs of IT Park! Another year on, there will only be more comments and yet no action from the relevant people making decisions at the top.
Remember, the global economy is in a downturn and the US’s economy is in its worst recession. Other economies will soon follow which will have a spin-off effect on India as well whether we like it or not…the reason for India’s dependency on other economies is a subject of contention for another forum. But surely,an indication is the lay off’s and penny pinching on slaries currently on in some IT and manufacturing companies.
I really appreciate the tolerance and hope of the guys in here. Quite honestly, and unfortunately i’m afraid, the optimism/expectations on an IT Park in Trichy is just heading no where!
February 12, 2008 at 4:40 AM
In Madurai , the hotel cost are much much higher than in Trichy . In Trichy there are many hotels which give good facilities , hospitality and service. few egs are Breeze,Femina,Sangam,Royal southern , Gajapriya etc
Ofcourse you cannot get great pubs/disco and the like in Trichy. Its more linked to value for money.
The big problem is that many hotels in trichy do not have a website where people can book or they are not listed in Yatra/makemytrip/cleartrip etc.they can have a tieup with these so that while booking flights , they can book hotels at discount , give service like airport drop/pickup etc. These are good value additions for any traveller
February 12, 2008 at 12:17 PM
I tend to agree with Mr.Ashok.I also read an article about recession in software industry which I reproduce below.If somebody throws more light it will be helpful to many.
Recession is here……
TCS: 500 resign on poor performance
BANGALORE: Tata Consultancy Services Ltd, India’s largest software services exporter, said on Tuesday that about 500 of its staff had resigned after their performance was rated poorly.
“Those who cannot meet the performance requirements of our company are asked to look for another job commensurate with their abilities,” a spokesman for Mumbai-headquartered Tata Consultancy told Reuters. “This (financial) year so far about 500 people have resigned voluntarily.”
The company’s financial year runs from April to March. “It’s not an exceptional thing, it happens every year and it’s part of our annual performance exercise. Last year also similar number of people left the company,” the spokesman said. In the December quarter, Tata Consultancy, part of the Tata Group that has interests in cars, commodities and services, added 4,037 net staff taking its total headcount to 108,229, up from 83,500 a year ago.
India’s export-driven software services companies have been winning large outsourcing contracts from western clients, but recession fears in the United States, a strong rupee, soaring wages and a skills shortage are major worries.
There are no free lunches in this world.
IBM dismisses 700 freshers in India
KOLKATA: This may literally be a bolt from Big Blue! IBM is learnt to have delivered the pink slip to a sizeable chunk of its entry-level trainee programmers (ELTPs) across major offices in India.
Most of these ELTPs, who were engineering graduates, had put in nearly a year and were working in numerous technology practice groups under IBM India’s global delivery business.
Though IBM is silent on the actual number of ELTPs dismissed, the total is likely to be in excess of 700 across company locations nationally, including 180-odd in Kolkata alone.
ELTPs, who were essentially freshers, were asked to go based on their performance in aptitude tests that were recently conducted in undisclosed IBM India locations. It is learnt that action on the ELTP front in major IBM locations was an ultra hush-hush exercise about which many senior IBM managers were in the dark.
At present, the IBM India management is reluctant to go into the details of its latest HR exercise. But in a written response to ET’s email query, an IBM spokesperson said, “IBM is driven by a high-performance culture, a place where employees are able to contribute at the upper limits of their potential and continually build market-valued skills and capabilities in both formal training and experiential learning. In support of that expectation on the part of our workforce, we are pioneering new ways for our people to certify their skill levels as both a validation of their value to clients and to reinforce the quality of our employees’ personal skill sets.”
IBM has strongly refuted any possible link in the latest action on the ELTP front, with industry speculation about IBM’s global services business suffering a cash loss in India in 2007.
“Last quarter marked IBM’s strongest revenue and profit performance in almost a decade, with a revenue of $28.9 billion and cash of $16.1 billion globally. Key to this success was IBM’s services business performance and momentum in emerging markets, including India, which represents one-third the company’s global revenue,” the spokesperson said.
“India is at the heart of IBM’s services strategy which has grown from a 53,000-employee organisation in 2006 to 73,000 in 2007. We continue to hire people with skills that meet our client needs and business demands,” the spokesperson added.
But IBM declined to respond to ET’s other query on whether the company needed to keep state governments in the loop ahead of kicking off the ELTP action.
The West Bengal government said it was clueless about the development. The state IT secretary Siddharth said, “I am not aware of these developments at IBM. But this is strictly a company decision, a matter between employer and employee. After all, when they hire people, they don’t inform us, so they are not obliged to tell us if they dismiss people. State governments usually get involved when a company decides to shut down operations.”
Under its present executive management grid, IBM India has six global delivery centres in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Gurgaon and Kolkata. All location heads report to Rajesh Nambiar, vice-president (global delivery) for IBM India.
TCS Cuts Salaries
NEW DELHI: Country’s largest software exporter TCS plans a 1.5 per cent cut in salaries of its over one lakh employees in the fourth quarter, as it fell short of certain financial targets.
Currently, the company offers a two tier pay package consisting 70 per cent fixed and 30 per cent variable pay. The variable has two components — company and individual performance.
The company’s Economic Value Added (EVA) for the third quarter was slightly short of target, which has forced it to cut down the salaries, TCS General Manager (Corporate Communications) Pradipta Bagchi said.
“The cut down is just a small adjustment as against the total compensation paid by the company before starting of the third quarter,” he said, adding that a combination of various factors including rupee appreciation led to shortfall in the target.
Rupee has appreciated about 14 per cent against the US dollar in the last one year.
TCS has about 1,08,229 employees and posted a 19 per cent net profit during the third quarter at Rs 1,327 crore. EVA is the difference between net profit and the cost of capital.
According to reports, the EVA-based variable payout for the company stood at Rs 293 crore for the quarter. The actual variable payout, made in advance, based on expected EVA amounts to Rs 376 crore.
The advance payment that has to be adjusted amounts to Rs 83 crore which will be recovered during Q4 from the employees.
February 13, 2008 at 4:10 AM
you all mean to say that companies thinking of cost cutting by laying off its employees, salary cut etc., what i mean to say is
It companies slowly turning in to tier II cities just to have the benefit of SEZ, from you point you say that pune got developed because of lack of place in mumbai and mysore because of higher cost at bangalore
similarly why dont you foresee or expect the companies to move on to tirhcy sez which may develop like pune or mysore in coming days. As a part of this , i feel they have come up with international airport . You may talk about recession in us , but here what everybody feels is, many cos in us will offshore jobs to india as a matter of cost cutting techniques. we have a good hope of getting it cos at trichy. So dont post financials of the cos and make us fools.
February 13, 2008 at 6:13 AM
Chitru,
I’m not sure if you are understand economics right here? Let me explain it in laymen terms- The world of economy is defined by supply meeting demand;consumption complimenting production. India’s economy is primarily driven by services industry that includes IT(software export) and ITes(Telemedicine, medical transcription, call center, financial and legel transcriptions and so forth..) contributing roughly 5.8 percent of the country’s GDP which was 8.9% last year.
All the above services are driven entirely by demand from the western markets mostly US and Europe which are deeply affected by the sub-prime crisis. If your brain doesn’t understand what a sub-prime crisis is, here is a link to the explanation -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_subprime_mortgage_financial_crisis
India with more than 60% of population being poor simply does not have enough internal demand to meet the void in demand left by these western companies in order to continue fuelling the same level of growth.
Companies in the western market are worried that large write-off’s of bad debts beacause of the subprime crisis by leading financial institutions
will result in cash crunch to finance businesses. This in turn has reflected in severe downturn in the share markets all over the world as nervous investors went on a massive sell-off!!
It is not like the western businesses will stop outsourcing to India starting tomorrow but beacuse of poor forecast for the year ahead, they will start to cut cost on their bottomline expenses which includes budget for outsourcing. Contracts with indian companies will be revisited and renegotiated. And as a spin-off indian companies will cut cost to meet the growth target and calm their own investors. You ought to remember that companies like TCS, Infosys and Wipro or any coporate businesses are obliged to meet competetive growth targets in order to meet the operating expenses and still make profits!
I have no clue why you feel being fooled by “financials” which is like a health check for companies. You might hear some reassuring words from NASSCOM and other coporates which are just to cool investor worries while hoping at the same time for the demand to increase, but employee downsizing and low increments are pretty much definite for this year.
No one is fooling you – the reality is with cash crunch and gloomy global economic forecast SEZz(which is a grand failure anyway) and setting up shop in Tier-2 cities will be the last thing on the CEO minds.
February 13, 2008 at 7:19 AM
I would rather let CEO’s of company decide whether they want to set thier comapanies here or not.
I request everyone to contribute news and happenings going in and around trichy.Please avoid any speculations and assumptions. Please do not exhibit your economics knowledge here .
February 13, 2008 at 7:20 AM
recission in us dollar /re appreciation everything has already factored in. indian it giants have already foreseen all these stuffs. US is not the only destination of Indian IT company. infact they have started concntrating in china europe etc.,
None of us would have thought of an internation airport in trichy 2 years back , it has come now, may take another 2- years for picking up
the same will happen to IT co;s also. Pl wait and watch. Dont give negative inputs as the work has just been started. A city is not built overnight.
o Mr p_ram_usa
I think you have not visited India for the past 8-10 years it seems. How you can compare a city like Mumbai and Bangalore with that of trichy. We are talking about TIER II cities. Any way we are not far behind mumbai and bangalore with regard to education, climate, etc . Bangalore climate seems to similar to that of Trichy in recen t years
February 13, 2008 at 7:21 AM
well said ranjit that s what i mean to say
February 13, 2008 at 7:28 AM
you cannot rrefuse the fact that these cities have good infrastructure, entertainment etc, only because of these it companies. except mumbai and chennai where bolly wood and kollywood play a lead role. This will happpen to trichy one day.
I want to say onething Trichy is the only place where in No communal voilence will ever take place unlike Mumbai.
February 13, 2008 at 8:16 AM
Chitru,
The companies are Public limited and they not trying to fool anybody with such statements. The message posted by ManiTrichy is not the personal view of medias. You’ll realize if you check the quarterly results of the companies comparing their last years. Believe it or not, the recruitment has slowed down in the IT sector nowadays.
I’ll be very happy if companies move to Tier-II cities like trichy, madurai, cbe etc…in TN. But where is the concrete news? If you beleive Tidel park is the answer for Trichy, you need to wait atleast 4-5 Years to see its success since its a govt promoted SEZ and it has its own hurdles, political issues, formalities and delays.
By the way, who said companies moved to Mysore due to high cost in Bangalore? They moved to chennai/hyderabad/pune for expansion rather than moving to tier-II cities like Mysore, Cbe, Vizag, Kochi, Mangalore etc…
The US Recession will not benefit tier-II cities by cost cutting as you mention because it has impact on foreign clients revenue which will result revenue loss for Indian IT companies too. Salary Cut, Job Cut, Variable allowance cut- all these happen due to this.
I agree SEZ has lot of benefit. Do you know how many private SEZs are coming up in Tier-I, II city suburbs? If an IT company still looks for an expansion in this economy slowdown, they will always look for such plug-and-play model at cheaper cost rather than investing a huge amount for building their own campuses in tier-II cities. Can you list any such upcoming private SEZs in Trichy?
Lets hope the economy will bounce back to its normal soon and this is the only hope for bringing tier-II cities in IT Map. Cheers… Ram
February 13, 2008 at 9:07 AM
Chitru,
Nobody says trichy will never develop. It will, but needs its own time to things materialize on the ground. This is what I meant in my comments.
I’m not blindly following some media news as you do. I’m talking with real facts and proofs and my intention is not to degrade the city. Almost 1.5 yrs I’m watching this thread and you know what developments happened so far.
Nowhere I have compared trichy with Mumbai, chennai or any Tier-I cities. Better you read my comments once again. I came out with a real fact how other Tier-II cities which already have few IT business are struggling to add new business due to the economy slow down. If you need to hype something, pls go ahead.
You don’t need to stay in the city to know the recent developments. You can see the clippings and current updates from anywhere in the world in todays technology. A successful business men knows each city and its potential as you know.
By the way, Currently I’m in Bangalore and I visit trichy every month. This is for your kind information.
February 13, 2008 at 9:12 AM
Yes, i agree with the last 2 para of your post. Except for ELCOT SEZ not a single private IT SEZ is coming to Trichy. If we were attractive tier II IT destination, then who is going to stop private IT SEZs in Trichy. Lets not blame the politicians for this also. CBE has attracted a few private IT SEZs and Madurai has attracted one big private IT SEZ.
By the time ELCOT starts TIDEL park works in Trichy, TIDEL and IT parks promoted in Coimbatore and Madurai would have started to function. We need to attract private IT SEZs or else we would lose the race to become a tier II IT destination even in TN.
We need to do some kind of retrospect into this issue.
February 13, 2008 at 9:14 AM

Ranjit – you are soooo naive that i can’t even be bothered to reply to your crap!
Chitru – Sigh…Yawn!Yawn! You are so far away from figuring out the basics of economics – I can’t blame you if what i explained earlier appears like rocket science!!!
Your lack of common sense and ignorance reflects all over your comments – “fooled by financials” to “recession in US dollar and the reappreciation” (that one surely cracked me up….I never knew currencies went through recession as well..lol) and finally on to infrastructure & bollywood(huh??!!)….Learn to accept the facts gracefully – we don’t live in a perfect world where all-is-well every passing minute!
I’m sure guys who have some inside knowledge on economy would understand what i have highlighted – would love to debate if some of you have valid contributions.Cheers.

The news article says ELCOT has applied for NOC to build 60m high tower. I didnt know that there would be problem related to height as eperienced in the case of Coimbatore. I hope AAI does not raise height issue and provides NOC.

I saw some posts trying to analyze the impact of US’s recession (there are some good economists who argue that there is no recession) on outsourcing and found the following info from the net. IMHO, the quality of service being provided by these indian companies rather than the recession abroad will be the main factor in bringing down the demand. (Just wait until the Chinese catch up – we will be lining up for visas to China)
Syntel, Inc. (NASDAQ:SYNT), a global information technology services and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) firm, surveyed 373 Fortune 1000 IT executives of global companies on their views of the global outsourcing industry.
* Global demand would remain strong: 60%
* Demand would be mildly impacted: 25%
* Demand would be negatively impacted: 15%

February 14, 2008 at 4:09 AM
Dear Mr. Ashok
please read it as Recession In us ,
Dollar -Re Appreciation ,etc NOT AS
your quote “recession in US dollar and the reappreciation”
your comment ‘(that one surely cracked me up….I never knew currencies went through recession as well..lol)’clearly reveals that u think yourself a genius. Let it be
One thing i want to share is that we have just now started the journey and its like a 1 yr baby. Let it Grow.
February 14, 2008 at 4:10 AM
Well, I have posted links below to answer you which also echos my earlier comments Sripriya – These are CEO’s voicing concerns and cautioning the investors on the impact of the recession(boo hoo Ranjit)! Syntel is more a solution provider rather than a market surveyer – i doubt if their claims would really reflects the real sentiments.

Keep off your personal thoughts so that others need not waste their time in reading such postings. or further better open a blog “trichy speculations” and we see that we dont disturb that .

Big Companies looking at Trich??
Based on the following reports companies like Infosys,IBM,TCS and Bosch have shown interest in Trichy IT park.
http://newstodaynet.com/newsindex.php?id=5571%20&%20section=6
The establishment of Information Technology parks in tier-II cities like Tiruchirapalli and Tirunelveli is being expedited, according to official sources.
The Union Ministry of Commerce and Industry has notified the 49.89 hectare area at Navalpattu on the outskirts of the city as a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) for IT and IT-enabled services in the Gazette of India, the sources said.
The SEZ project is being implemented by ELCOT.
The IT park at Gagaikondan near Tirunelveli is also taking shape fast. The IT park has already arranged for water supply from Thamirabarani river.
An electric substation has also been installed, they said.
Top companies like HCL, Sutherland, IBM, Infosys, TCS and Bosch have evinced interest in setting up units in these parks, they added.

A ET Link talks about BPO in Tier-2 cities.
Article covered Trichy/Madurai in TN.
The second group comprises smaller cities close to prime industry centres. Mysore near Bangalore, and Trichi near Chennai belong to this group. Apart from lower real estate and wage prices, these cities are able to piggy-back on their neighbours’ ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ infrastructure such as airports, training facilities, and industry associations. These locations will be attractive for both local and international investors, in particular smaller firms seeking to lower costs

Dear trichians
Certainly your city will never grow, because of your attitude by unnecessarily comparing madurai & tirunelveli. Once International Airports started operations from madurai, we aill never come to Trichy, We will travel 2 hours to madurai thats all. Then you see the Dip in traffic, suckers. We dont want to travel 6 hours to that sucking city . Trichy is a hell.Trichy will be a hell

If people like you come to trichy heaven will surely turn hell. so please stay away from trichy.

Elcot`s IT parks on fast track
Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu Ltd (Elcot)’s plans to set up IT parks in tier II cities of the state are gaining momentum.
According to Elcot sources, the commerce ministry has notified 49.89 hectares at Navalpattu on the outskirts of Trichy as a special economic zone (SEZ) for IT and IT-enabled services. Besides, Elcot has sought an additional 120 acres in the same vicinity for which the district administration is already on the job.
Meanwhile, the IT park at Gagaikondan near Tirunelveli is taking shape. Located at about 12 km from Tirunelveli, the total area of the SEZ is about 500 acres. Elcot had fixed the land cost at Rs 15 lakh per acre on lease and Sutherland Global Services has already registered. Water supply and electric sub-stations in the park are already in place, the sources said.
Elcot authorities are hopeful of locating units of major IT industries at Tirunelveli, Trichy and Salem. Companies like HCL, Sutherland and CTS have evinced interest in the Trichy park. Other companies like IBM, Infosys, TCS, and Bosch, too have initiated discussions.
http://www.business-standard.com/common/news_article.php?leftnm=8&subLeft=2&chklogin=N&autono=316632&tab=r
Its good to see big companies have initiated discussions and hope they layout plans for Trichy
March 13, 2008 at 8:57 AM
How long will they be saying the same story. Its really getting on my nerves. I hope we dont see the same delay as witnessed at ELCOT’s SEZ in CBE.
March 13, 2008 at 9:48 AM
Dear Remo
Do you know trichy is already having big industries and may be the second largest industrialised city in TN?BHEL,RAILWAYS WORKSHOP,OFT,HAPP,CVL are big companies.Even Kovai do not such big cos.And there are more 400 cos are making components to these cos.More than 90% of wind mills are manufactured in Trichy.
And Trichy is a big centre for educations.There are more than 25 engineering colleges including NIT and Bharathithasan Instt.There is a Govt medical college,Law college,Govt Physiotheraphy college,many more other colleges, Centre Govt. Kendria Vidyalaya school etc.
I am not from Trichy.Before coming to TRY I was living in Madurai for many years.What is there in Madurai other than Meenakshi Amman temple?
The only problem for Trichy is the curse from people like you whose cities are not at all developing and lack of support from politicians for various reasons.Native people will always like to see their city growing and people from other places like us need not and should not feel bad about this.
March 13, 2008 at 10:17 AM
Herewith, news message from CII Trichy zone sometime back.
Tamilnadu government is working on an ambitious airport expansion project for Trichy. An investment of Rs.75 crores has been made for new Terminal to handle 150 passengers at peak hours. This work has already been started and slated to be completed by the end of the year 2007. We at CII-Trichy, were able to bring focus to the need for a much larger airport, keeping in mind the future requirement of Trichy. The Louis Berger Group from the US (the consultants for Airport Authority of India) have already been brought to Trichy and the proposal for about Rs.550 crores will be presented to the Minister of Civil Aviation for the next phase of expansion which needs to be completed by the year 2010.
Currently Trichy airport receives about 30 aircrafts a week, which will go up to about 69 aircrafts a week by the end of the year. Trichy airport, by the year 2008, must handle atleast 150 aircrafts a week, both national and international.
We are also promoting Trichy as an alternative industry destination. An IT Park is to be located on a 50 acre campus with the Tamil Nadu Government chipping in with a Tidel Park (similar to Chennai). Many software giants like CTS, Wipro, and Infosys are increasingly showing interest in Trichy.
The energy equipment manufacturing sector in Trichy is doing extremely well, what with BHEL and its ancillary units. In fact, many ancillary units have graduated to become large scale units with turnover poised to reach Rs.200 crores each. The energy equipment manufacturing sector will deliver Rs.7000 crores worth equipments this year and is poised to touch Rs.15000 crores by the year 2010.
I am sure that in future, Trichy will be able to regain its past glory as the industry town of Tamilnadu
March 13, 2008 at 10:54 AM
Dear Trichy Guys,
Please ignore posts by so called Remo and Jeeva as they are here to simply demoralise and put some disgusting comments.
When there is a good computer and software , you might have virus —-> so are these guys corrupting our blog.
I would like other cities like Madurai and coimbatore also to develop and grow but how can it when it has people like the above ? I am NOT generalising for all madurai-people or (any others ) and i am pointing only those who create divide and hatred among people.
It is so nice to see people from other cities like Subbu , another person from Coimbatore who had visited trichy (dont remember name) giving genuine comments .
Some things are beyond our control , but things under our control like keeping our city clean , aiding tourists and raising our voice against selfish deeds by some should be well taken care by us and make our city a homely place for everyone
March 13, 2008 at 11:06 AM
Godos to both Subbu and Aravind.
In this blog also we have some balanced people like Kumar alies Bajk, Damodaran and many more guys irrespecive of their home cities participating in well manner…
People like Remo, by posting such kind of post..we all can understand how the guys has grown…. (only physically)..
Come on guys… thing b4 talk.. don’t ugly urself by acting such a manner…
March 13, 2008 at 12:10 PM
Dear Trichians
How long you will tell we are having BHEL, Ponmalai railways, These were developed long back. Tell me something new maan. Bosch in Coimbatore, Perot Systems SEZ in coimbatore, Suzlon SEZ in coimbatore,these are all staerted their activities in 2007, Titanium Plant activities started in Tuticorin -2007(Land acquistion is going on), Embraer MRO in Madurai, Work will be started in Madurai in April 2008. Tell me something new in trichy man. When new airlines starts, some aother will be stopping their service. Madurai crossed trichy in aircraft movements, Once Flights to singapore starts, then they will cross trichy in passenger traffic, Just discuss about reality. I had never seen any body discussing reality things. this will happen in trichy , that will happen in trichy, but nothing happened…. Govt SEZ is coming everywhere, just discuss about private investments, you wont discuss, because other cities far from trichy guys… So trichy will never grow.

Remo , its acre and NOT “are” . Even before you improve your english ,learn to be polite and try to be nice to others. Childhood probelms !!!!!
I would rather suggest you to leave this blog undisturbed .
March 14, 2008 at 11:23 AM
Remo,
Things will change when the political scene in TN changes. All your MDU, CBE gets development not because of private investment. As u said, private investment started recently but why. its because of govt investment that happend before. All these kazhagams wanted to sell their lands and properties to govt for a higher price and made govt industries to flourish there.If PMK comes to power, they might develop north arcot district for their own reasons.
Private investments are not permanent kanna, if they found resource is not there, they will surely change the location. They are building their own buildings, just taking the rented ones. So keep that in mind. I respect madurai, cbe yean this whole TN, whole india. I dont want to talk bad about those cities but to tell you the fact, MDU got developed because it is the local sandhai for southern district from those days. Dont ever call MDU as city, it is assemble of villages. Only thing is that ring road which MK had got. If tirunelveli or tuticoring start getting its important (it has already started, u had mentioned one about tuticorin) mdu will loose its charm. First maintain the beautiful vaigai.
And kovai, if u say TN govt had developed it, no way sir, it had been trading hub of many keralites apart from TN people. Now regionalism is flourishing in kerala, so those people will concentrate on their cities.
So for each city, it has one period of time. Nothing is permanent boss in this world. Think about development of all cities. This thought and this lack of unity hinders TN growth as a whole.
Also tell me which region has more natural resources for living. Today no body is seeing,i want cool climate bla . Everybody is saying we want good water, good food. This is abundant in Trichy,Tanjore,Ariyalur,Perambalur,Pudukkottai,Karur region.
Dear trichians, thanks that we didnt get that “sayapattarais” otherwise our cauvery would have got polluted like manimutharu (saying is there in 1940’s, they have taken pearls from that river. ask some old people in salem) thanks that tanneries except one are not there in trichy otherwise it would also pollute cauvery like adyar and koovam. The existing one is polluting the “Perundheri” – lake in pudukottai road. Trichians take care of our beautiful city, here after wherever is nature wealth is preserved, there only human wealth will prevail ! this is the future saying. This is not only to trichy but applicable to whole world. First someone pls take initiave to clean uyaakondan and kudamuruti rivers. Sometime back, heard ayyapan temple is taking care of cleaning uyyakondan. some big shots in the city, in the forum start intiative, we all will support u guys.
We trichians support all the developments in TN and wish many developements to trichy.likewise u wish more developments come to ur city (from whereever u are). dont do a negative wish like “that city will not grow, this city will not grow” etc.
Grow up mr. remo, sorry remo kid !

March 14, 2008 at 1:35 PM
For our city to develop, first the corporation has to concentrate on developing infrastructure like roads, bridges, drainage system, drink water system etc. Coimbatore and Madurai which are included in the JNNURM will be getting funds to the tune of 3,000+ crore Rs. in the next 5 years.
By 2012, those 2 cities will be well ahead of us in city infrastructure wise. This is my big worry. We still dont have an integrated bus stand, whereas Madurai, Tirunelveli have one.
March 14, 2008 at 2:36 PM
Well said Trichy guy. A sensible post. So, now we all know what are the problems in our city. How to rectify those? If you look in to corporation, they are giving deficit budget. Remember it took 6 long years to complete tennur, srirangam and palakkarai briges. Uttamarkovil bridge is completed little sooner becuase of pressure from NHAI.
we have such pathetic corporation. What to do now?
And whoever the mayor of trichy, they said there is no co-operation among the counsellors. They are objecting all the development plans. So what is the solution?
any body pls talk about the solution. enough number of problem stated. Pls start from the scratch. Uniting people is the one way we all now but how? how to unite the people, create awareness among the people? how how. If uniting the people is one way, what are the other ways. who is here to deploy those. many of us here are from US, UK, Singapore, Middle east, Chennai, Bangalore. Who is going to do the “actual work” in trichy. If somebody does, how to believe ? Pls give me sensible answer guys. no jokes or no pj’s or no hatred please.
March 14, 2008 at 3:03 PM
Why isnt our corporation thinking big ?. There is no use in developing the chatharam bus stand, instead of spending money on it they could have thought about a bigger integrated bus stand in the outskirts of the city.
Though many of the NHs branching out of Trichy are being 4 laned, the city roads are very pathetic. Something has to be done in this regard.
I think the big problem in executing the projects is funds. Our corporation for the past years is announcing only a deficit budget, then from where will they get funds to execute projects. The TN govt is also busy in funding 20% of the project cost for projects going on in Coimbatore and Madurai under JNNURM. This being the case, then its getting lot difficult to get funds from the state govt as well.
Atleast the situation is better now as the state govt waivered all loans to corporations in the state. Now atleast its easier for the corporation to get outside loans to execute projects.
March 15, 2008 at 4:49 AM
Trichy guy, i agree with your post reg busstand. Thanjavur got little expanded because of new busstand in the outskirts.
For madurai, it is mattuthavani. After koyembedu, that area of chennai got expanded.
Keeping our juntion busstand as local transit or transit to integrated busstand, it is better to put new integrated busstand in trichy-chennai national highway or trichy-thanjavur NH (where most of the buses from trichy leave )
Also chathiram can be kept as local terminus.
And about market. Wherever is the new busstand comes (is it coming first), put he market in the 2km distance.make one railway station and link it to trichy fort or junction. did any one cared about trichy town station? many doesnt know how to go there.
ippadi solli konde sellalam.
Even if corporation gets enough fund, will they execute ? That is the big question.
I dont know when i will get the answer for my earlier question of who is going to execute? Now my self even didnt have an answer. I am ashamed of myself in this regard (i am being out of trichy for long years is being one reason, i dont want to give lame reasons here…)
Who is going to create public awareness? atleast awareness to buisnessmen of trichy, politiicans of trichy so that they can put pressure to govt of TN. Trichy develop panna avangalukkm nalla labam thaane? dont know when those guys will understand.
March 15, 2008 at 5:34 AM
hey all
just ignore remo and other guys who are pessimists. I want to say something to remo:
hey please note that Madurai will never over take trichy .Can u compare the skills and attitude of the Trichians with that of Madurai people who kills the language of English . Can u state any voilence in our trichy. Madurai can only be a Hub of Voilence and can Be No 1 city of voilence i assure you that ur city cannot overtake trichy as the growth in madurai is artifically created by algiri, but trichy developing on its own even with out any back up purely based on its own merits.
dont try to compare our trichy with that of ur dirty town. Go to madurai it park and start bla bla bla…..
March 15, 2008 at 7:16 AM
Dont ever compare TRICHY wiith that of Madurai,Tirunelveli,Tuticorin in which voilence is the only way to sort out the things.
March 15, 2008 at 8:32 AM
Please trichians, stop fighting. ignore pessimists. Concentrate on the idea of how to build our trichy. We are keep on talking, but nothing is gettng materialized. Atleast from our talk, we should evolve with some ideas which will materialize.
March 15, 2008 at 8:55 AM
I agree with Nemo.
By replying to these people you are making them feel big.This is one way of getting publicity .Their intention may be killing the enthusiasms of you so that your city also will be like theirs.Kindly ignore them and use this blog for useful informations.If they want they can also give some useful suggestions, from their experiences, to develope other cities also.
March 15, 2008 at 10:47 AM
i feel that first and the foremost thing needed for trichy is proper planning atleast for the BUSSTAND. let us all meet their respective ward councellors and demand the integrated BUSSTand which is in the proposal for more than years.

The integrated busstand at Devadanam has been approved by the Trichy corporation and has been send to govt for approval.Also there is a lawsuit in the court by Kisan group against the proposed integrated busstand at Devadanam.This one of the reasons for the busstand getting delayed.The Kisan group feels that Devadanam is near the cauvery and good be flooded.
Personally,I feel that is an ideal location as it is near the chennai bye pass road and near the chatram busstand.Basically all the long distance buses to Chennai,Madurai,Pudukottai,
Thanjavur,salem can use the chennai bye pass and dont have to enter the city, while all the city busses can go to the city via the oyyamari road(chintamani) along the cauvery river.
Lets wait to hear from the court.
March 16, 2008 at 2:03 AM
STOP being sentimental……..But be practical to realty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 16, 2008 at 6:28 AM
So how the case will be pending. Why no body in trichy had filed an affidavit to finish the courting soon? It if pollutes the river cauvery, then it should not go there. Can any localites/journalists share their information about this.
My view is busstand is important but it should be never ever at the cost of river cauvery’s beauty. Nature is first preference.
why cant they demolish some of the hotels near the existing busstand and make it bigger. They can create subway from railway to busstand if they integrate busstand and the bus depo near juntion. Ennoda siriya arivirukku etiiya suggestion, thavara irundhal manniyungal. Some local people currently staying there/some journalists can throw a light on this. Please
chitru’s point is noteable. is there any people movement or organization in trichy. can anybody bring it to them first?
March 16, 2008 at 11:10 AM
Your suggestion of demolishing hotels is disastrous, and Trichy corporation would never ever think about such a solution. If your solution was to be followed, then we will not see an integrated bus stand in our life time. :-))
March 16, 2008 at 11:13 AM
A.KUMAR, i hope the politicians do not join hands with the Kisan group (farmers) in opposing this project. Now a days politicians are finding ways to stall projects, for vote bank.
March 16, 2008 at 3:05 PM
After Reconstructing the old bus stand with so many odds, having spent huge amount in acquring lands etc., i dont think integrated bustand at devadhanam will come into reality atleast in this mayor period. They should first think big to develop the infrastructure .Only Now people have started using thennur /pattbiraman salai to reach cantonment or court or junction to avoid thillinagar traffic. Also porposal to connnect Anna nagar and MGR Statue directly without going into pattabiraman salai.Mayor has moved a proposal for theme park at anna nagar.If theme park comes at annanagar think what is the purpose of spending amount in laying a new road to annanagar and MGR statue. Whether it can handle such a huge crowd it ll lead to traffic again. They are not only fooling us but also fools themselves.
March 16, 2008 at 4:51 PM
Oh..i see. Does devadhanam bus stand comes, will that really pollute cauvery ? Also point of expanding the current bus stand will decrease the chances of new integrated bus stand is correct.
Theme part at annanagar ! seems to be a good joke. who proposed such a idea?? !!! It is always better to have it in outside the city. It is better to have some shopping complex or multiplex there instead.(is any multiplex coming to trichy, even if it comes, does tiruchians will encourage it? a big question)
Any ring roads plans in trichy?
Why cant some one (a lawyer in trichy or some organization in trichy) use right to information act to know the corporation plans? (again this some one,some one is big question for all of us). Ellorum pesi konde irukirom, ennaiyum serthu 😦
March 17, 2008 at 4:23 AM
A news from Bussiness Line is given below for your information.
Chennai, March 16 The 400-acre IT SEZ at Gangaikondan, near Tirunelveli, has evoked encouraging response from the industry. Companies such as Hexaware, US Technologies and Sutherland, have asked for land. About 150 acres are ready to be filled-in immediately. The State Government plans to build social infrastructure on a large portion of the remaining land, according to Dr C. Chandramouli, IT Secretary, Government of Tamil Nadu.
Selling the southern districts of Tamil Nadu has been at the top of the Government’s agenda, which strives to take the IT industry throughout the State. Despite having hundreds of engineering colleges and proximity to three airports (Tuticorin, Madurai and Thiruvananthapuram), getting IT companies to go the districts had been a problem.
Madurai plan
But now, the problem is as good as solved. “Madurai is full and Tirunelveli will soon be,” Dr Chandramouli said. The Government has planned two IT SEZs at Madurai.
The other SEZ is near the Madurai Kamaraj University and is spread over 200 acres. Both of these are sold out. HCL, Honeywell, Satyam, Sintel, Tessolve and Sutherland are among those who have bought lands there.
Dr Chandramouli reckons that once SEZs in the southern districts get populated by IT companies, it would not be too difficult to sell those in other regions. Tiruchi and Salem are next on the list.
March 17, 2008 at 5:11 AM
Does this have any relevance to Trichy?? why dont people post news about Trichy.
The govt and ELCOT very much know they can promote Trichy without any difficulty.Many IT gaints are willing to start operations in Trichy at this moment even without the type of attention Madurai or Tirunelveli is getting from Govt and ELCOT.
My only concern is, hope Govt and ELCOT dont delay too much on allocating land to IT companies in Trichy IT Park which could force the IT companies look at some other places.
March 17, 2008 at 5:14 AM
That clearly shows that Trichy has huge potential to become an IT destination even later unlike southern districts which needs to catch the bus today.
TRICHY WILL ALWAYS REMAIN a favourite choice for private players like Infosys and others. They are aware of the colleges in and around Trichy which are among the best . So the best talent pool with good infrastructure + good connectivity + very stable and peaceful environment will make Trichy one among the top in the list of Tier II cities in Tamilnadu.

Subbu sir,
News post panrathu ok but pls mention the releavance of trichy to it else refrain from posting such news articles. Thanks for the same.
Also i request everyone not to promote real estate things in this forum.
March 17, 2008 at 6:58 AM
Elcot purposefully putting hold on trichy it park becuase they may feel that marketing tirunelveli and madurai which has polictical back up of alagiri will be a tough one once it starts marketing trichy it park. I also heard from a realestate person that Major part of Trichy IT park has been taken up by a single it Giant itself for which intial discussion are over and its going to be finalised in a month or two. i.e may be one of the reason to conduct road show for marketing Tirunelveli it park.
March 17, 2008 at 7:39 AM
Perot Systems acquired land in Coimbatore
Suzlon acquired land in Coimbatore
CTS already in coimbatore

All the above is going to create 50000 Jobs in Coimbatore by 2009.
Could I know something about trichy
March 17, 2008 at 8:06 AM
Dear Nemo
That news has following relevance to Trichy.
1.TN govt is serious in promoting tier II cities incl TRY.
2.MDU and Nellai fully booked and next in line is TRY.
3.People from those places, now living in TRY, may benefit from this.
4.Also some body may be interested to know all around growth of TN.
I request you and others also to post such informations and people not interested can simply skip.
March 17, 2008 at 9:03 AM
Pl go through the blog from the begining.
Thrichy lacks only the entertainment segmnet llike Malls, multiplex etc and nothing else when compared to coimbatore. For your information Coimbatore IT park was started some 2 years back and only in the past 6 months all the cos you have mentioned has taken up operations. No doubt that coimbatore has emerged as a tier II destination. But there is no point in comparing kovai with that of trichy . Each city has its own merits dnd demerits.
March 17, 2008 at 9:11 AM
Dear Remo ,
Oru nagarathoda development-a innoru nagarathala thaduthu nirutha mudiyathu appadi ninaicha, antha nagaram munnerathu. hope u understand this. So please go back to your kovai blog and start listing these things there. you will get appreciation definitely there. We are also appreciating as kovai is our friendly city. Thanks for the info. I dont have info about trichy being out of trichy for a decade but would love to hear it from fellow trichians.
Dear subbu,
Thanks for the clarification. It would have been better if you had put that there itself. Anyway thanks.
Dear trichians.
Avoid replying to remo, he is bringing irrelevant information. Please ignore that post.
March 17, 2008 at 9:17 AM
1. Mr Remo
The follg cos is having opertaions at trichy
sutherland global @ 11th cross thillainagar
Allsec Technologies @ cantonment
HCl Infosystems @TVS tollgate
CTS, sutherland and HCL booked space in it park,
Pvt IT Park by Mangalam Estates at Cantonment
First sourct BPO of ICICI
NIT, Sastra universities for Enginerring
and BIM for management,
Will make Trichy a preferred location for all. Above all the operation of International Airport will also add.
I request Mr. Remo to stay away from this blog as his intention is not to share the informaiton and development of IT parks in other cities but to always degrade trichy.
March 17, 2008 at 9:23 AM
Im really wondering why not a single private IT SEZ has been proposed in Trichy ?. Many here commented about many positives about our city, if thats the case why hasnt any private IT SEZ come up in Trichy ?. No one cannot stop a private IT SEZ from setting up in Trichy, if they really wanted.
Coimbatore has 5 private IT SEZs and Madurai has one huge private IT SEZ on the pipeline. ELCOT has had a easy time selling Madurai and Coimbatore SEZs, the difference is its marketing Tirunelveli in a great manner. If our city takes a lesser priority than Tirunelveli, then it could be disastrous.
March 17, 2008 at 10:50 AM
Well, the most pathethic state about Trichy is due to lack of political support, and whatever else you may name it, as you could witness the transfer of AIIMS Super specialty Hospital to Salem, transfer of Madras High Court Branch to Madurai, Late Chief Minister MGR dream of making Trichy the capital, whilst, Chennai being the Business/Financial Centre, and next in line is the Madurai airport, and who knows what else in the future…, though Trichy is strategically located, serving as an potential hub of various economical activities, in order to achieve a well rounded balanced Tamil Nadu state growth in all it’s spheres.
Hence, what and who is stopping Trichy from growing, though Market Forces strongly favour Trichy in general.
Well, is it the curse or simply no ladyluck. Only GOD knows.
March 17, 2008 at 11:13 AM
Well once we had all the political support which brought BHEL, Golden Rock workshop, REC, international flights at airport etc. I think its our mistake of electing some useless politicians, who dont raise voice in TN assembly or Indian parliament.
When Maran was the IT minister, he was involving himself more on the ELCOT IT projects. He was taking the center stage, but now our IT minister Raja cannot be seen at any IT related events. When we have an IT minister from our region who seems to be useless, whom else can we blame except ourselves for electing them.
March 17, 2008 at 11:29 AM
It is only those ministers from trichy are dump but look at the canditates being choosed in trichy ! A guy who doesnt even has respect from their party is being nominated. This is from all the party. Now L Ganesan (though manmohan singh govt had said that they will give share in the power, our beloved vaiko and LG neglected that). we should vote for such persons. On the other hand, DMK side, some nameless politician will contest fromt trichy. MK using trichy as a thoguthi where soem newbie will given a chance or some communist or some other party will be given a chance.
On the other hand ADMK had nominated a guy, i even forgot his name and he had won. quitely he sat on the bench and slept and came back.
Before that rangarajan kumaramangalam. He did some thing but he didt complete his tenure. Trichians will never ever forget congress and adaikalraj. The one who stopped the growth of trichy.
Almost all the parties are givign nameless canditates to trichy ! so what to do.A newbie elected also will later vow his support to some party, get his share and sleep in trichy itself without going to parliament.
A strong guy from any part should be nominated in trichy and that will do the trick. It will do the reversal of fortunes. Who knows May be captain, Maran are few guys who can stand in trichy parliamentary.
March 17, 2008 at 12:23 PM
@Nemo
Your comments on Mr. Adaikalaraj is wrong!
He had done many things to Trichy during his tenure…
1) The Hotel Rajali was renamed as Jenny.
And all the buses were diverted thru that
Hotel as if they honestly diverted for
Traffic reasons…
2) Jenny Plaza, a landmark for Tiruchi was an achivement by Mr.Adaikalaraj
He even did more for other cities too…
Black Thunder near Ooty…
And few commercial buildings at Pondicherry…
The list will grow more an more…
His achivement is never been compared with any other MPs…!!!
:-}
March 17, 2008 at 1:21 PM
@sam
sorry to say. He had ruled the city for more than 16 years and how many you listed here. Just two.
And that is too building a hotel and a shopping complex. Can you please tell me whether this is an achievement? Sorry if any thing offends here.
It is the sad fate of trichy that we didnt get powerful leader since 1970s.

March 17, 2008 at 1:48 PM
Nemo, you didnt understand the sarcastic note of Sam. He has also criticised Adaikalaraj.
March 17, 2008 at 5:44 PM
IT has overshadowed the other major developments in the Trichy region.
BHEL expansion alone is going to create 30000 direct and in-direct jobs.
Apart from BHEL, Cethar Vessels is expanding big.It is setting up an Turbine unit with JV for Rs 800 crs and also an Auxillary Unit for Rs 300 crs.It is setting up a Global Engineering Service division with 10000 Engineers.Also new corporate office is under construction on the Trichy-dindugal higway.
MRF is investing Rs 1000 cr. Rane group has setup an Engine Value Unit and is in the process of setting up Brake Unit.
Anand Engineering (Supplies 90% of the Windmill Tower to Sulzon) is expanding and also GB Engineering is entering into JV with italian company to manufacture large boilers.
Dalmia cements is expanding its existing factory and also setting up a new Green Field factory.
March 17, 2008 at 6:16 PM

Suzlon Towers And Structures Ltd has setup unit in Trichy.
A private industrial estate by BHEL Small and Medium Industries Association(BHELSIA) is coming up at Siruganur.
March 18, 2008 at 2:41 AM
Good work Mr. Kumar
Unlike other cities, tirchy need not be dependednt ona ny particular sector. Overall Growth in all sector is there except Tourism and entertainment.
Mr. Remo has got his answers from some of us. I hope he will not poke his dirty nose here anymore.
March 18, 2008 at 10:40 AM
Itsall Good
Dalmia Plant is in ariyalur district, please kindly remove it from your dictionary. Dear Chitru, Still the same dicsussion, tell me something new.
That is coming, this is coming, x is coming, y is coming, z is coming, Kindly let me know, once they had started. I am not here to fight with you people. your(trichians) imagination is so high. But actual output interms of realization is not happening in your cities. At the same time I am not finding that much discussions in other forums(Madurai & Kovai , Tirunelveli, Hosur, Salem, etc…), But many investments are happening. Leadership & Enterpreneurship are high among the guys, who are coming from above said regions. They are working some where else, but at the later stage they are starting their own industries in their respected towns.Some of thm are good designation in some good MNCs, their influence is bringing more investments in their cities. One small example .. One company by name Mani Infotech is there in kovilpatti( In between Madurai & Tirunelveli), more than 400 Employees were working , their salary is not less than 10000 Rs, Infact most of them are ladies, Many of their parents sre not ready to relocate them to chennai or Bangalore, For them it is an good opportunity, The CEO of Mani Infotech is working in US, he is getting projects from US, & he is executing from here. Just think that, If everybody from other cities works in a similar manner, Everucity will grow.
Trichy created vey good proffessionals, Doctors,what is the use, everybody is thinking about their ass, keeping quiet.
We required good enterpreneurs with good managerial skills, I had learnt a lot from Kovai & Madurai. But Trichy is still lagging from these qualities. Madurai may be a big village, but for us madurai is a medical capital for we people, I can reach madurai in 4 Hours, & one among the Important Medical destination in the country when compared to mysore, Mangalore , Vizag & Trichy.Infact I can go to trivandrum, but language is the issue. Still we are not comfortable with Trichy, If trichy supports the people in all the aspects, then we will accept & infact we will support trichy growth… Still that I will argue with you people.
March 18, 2008 at 11:20 AM
Yes, I have to accept that Viswanathan Medical College Hospital in Trichy is in such a state of neglect. It doesnt have facilities to perform various complicated surgeries and operations. The sad state is that some poor people go all the way to Madurai in such cases.
We lost the AIIMS project to Salem, dont know why our politicians were staying quite.
March 18, 2008 at 11:23 AM
Even the upper middle class people goto either Madurai or Chennai to get quality health care at a premium.
When will all these things change.
March 18, 2008 at 1:28 PM
Trichy guy, One of the answer lies in the question put by remo. Trichians dont want to contribute to trichy. Very true.
Next i have already told, we people are talking but no steps. We have to accept it. We need to explore the ways ourselves which would develop the trichy rather than depending upon politicians. Right now you may not be able to be part of trichy development, but if you oath to take it up at ur some point of ur life, then at that time defintiely trichy would grow. Now may be our seniors turn to develop this trichy.
But what you said is also agreeable, point of neglection is very high when it comes to trichy.
Trichy/Tanjore/Karur/Pudukottai/Perambalur/Ariyalur MPs should grouply develop these areas. Not even MPs are needed, if people gets united from these areas, it would be great.

Hey Guys
Again we missed that, Recently central govt anounced the formation of central Universities,& IIM. But both of them went to coimbatore , This is very sad that, we are not getting anything .
April 3, 2008 at 11:08 AM
Coimbatore will get the World class university. I hope Tiruvarur would get central university as promised. Since CBE got the WCU, most probably Madurai would get the IIM, but there is talk that IIM would goto Chennai. Also IIIT will come up at Kancheepuram near Chennai. At present nothing is confirm, only time has to tell which city gets what.
Since Trichy has NIT already, we could be in a lower priority less, unless and otherwise our politicians raise their voice, which they never do.
April 3, 2008 at 11:56 AM
If after the elections some other party comes at centre or state all the above will change?
April 3, 2008 at 1:14 PM
Most likey IIM will come in Chennai and thats the reason CBE is getting a world class central university.Triuvarur is gettng a central university too. As far Trichy I will be happy if we get IISc as they promised.But things will change when the govt changes.
April 3, 2008 at 8:24 PM
Here is advt. from ELCOT for land allotment in Tiruchy IT Park.There are 60 acres of land available to be alloted to IT companies.
April 4, 2008 at 7:00 AM
From the ELCOT advertisement, it seems Trichy IT PARK land cost is the highest among all other Tier II cities of Tamil Nadu IT Parks. Could someone very well explain the logic behind?
April 4, 2008 at 9:14 AM
The above link does not work. Do you mean to say ELCOT has fixed higher land price in Trichy SEZ compared to others ?. Thats a bad news, medium sized IT/ITES companies would get discouraged to invest in Trichy IT park if its so. Also big IT companies who will be scouting for large acres of lands will also be giving a secound thought as land price finally could make a big difference in saving few crores of Rs.
Whats the difference in land price/acre between Madurai and Trichy ?.
April 4, 2008 at 11:00 AM
Hi,
LAND COST PER ACRE FOR 99 YEARS LEASE:
MADURAI:15 LAKHS
TRICHY :25 LAKHS
SALES :17.5 LAKHS
Try this page:
http://www.elcot.in/land_requirement_new.php
April 4, 2008 at 11:03 AM
Please read as 90 years lease. sorry for the typo
April 4, 2008 at 11:19 AM
Thanx Ganapathy for the information and link.
10 lakh Rs. difference between Trichy and Madurai IT SEZ per acre land price. Thats a lot of money, it could hurt Trichy SEZ demand.
April 8, 2008 at 9:25 AM
when compared trichy with that of madurai and salem and hosur, our trichy is ahead in terms of annual output of eng. grads, No of domestic and international flights, etc., Even the cost per acre is high only because of the demand. Higher cost per acre will not be a hurt to trichy sez
April 8, 2008 at 11:09 AM
Companies should be allowed to select thier own location based on thier interest and not forced by Elcot.
If they want to give priority to smaller cities first then they should have started with Salem and Tiruneveli followed by Trichy ,Madurai and Kovai.
They are all bullshit propagandas on personal interest and selfishness . Thanks to UmaSHANKER
April 8, 2008 at 2:21 PM
Right, forcing IT companies to specific location wont go down well with them.Let ELCOT promote specific cities but not at the expense of other cities.This is what is currently happening.By trying to promote specific cities, ELCOT has put on hold signing companies that are willing to go to other cities.I am not sure how long the companies will wait for ELCOT and might considering going to Tier-II cities in other states.
Mr. Uma Shankar talks all trash.He does everything for hype. Few weeks back he had said Maduri IT park is full and in fact overbooked.
But, now ELCOT gives an advt. for land allotment in Madurai IT park. ELCOT should realize that there are Tier-II cities in other states too which are ready to grab the oppurtunity.

April 9, 2008 at 11:06 AM
What????????????Surprise??????????????Remember………… Trichy IT Park is priced highest among other Tier II cities!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 9, 2008 at 11:20 AM
Its only going down hill from here!! The last time i pointed out that there WONT be any IT Park in Trichy there was a flurry of posts accusing me that i was baseless, anti-trichy and all other usual trash!
I have no clue how many of you visited that location – its all barren and weeded out there -makes me wonder why there is so much hope?? Perhaps it is this “eternal hope” of ignorant population that has helped the disgraced and misfits to rule the country since Independence!!
FYI:This blog was first created on Nov-2006 – 16 months on and there isn’t signs of any significant progress what-so-ever.
From the looks of it, it is most likely to figure in the “promises” for the next election! And as ever most of you posting here are highly likely to vote for the incompetent politicians who would probably throw in a few freebies(I have a feeling it could be the cheap “Nano” car this time around!!!) along with false promises.
Sadly, we are just as incompetent in choosing our leaders…. Goodluck!!

In addition to that Our IT minister Raja expressed his hope & willingness to locate the proposed National IT training Institute to run by Central Government in TRICHY (for Tamilnadu quota) in 40 sq Kms area.

The above news is like araicha maava therumba therumba araikuradhu. There is nothing new in that and even worse is it goes on to say,
As far as the IT Park in Trichy is concerned the work is progressing smoothly, except for the fact that no big players have so far evinced their interest to set up shops. Though they are convinced about the infrastructure here, the talks are more oriented towards the cost they have to incur for setting up their units in the IT park. Sources said a dozen companies have decided to establish themselves at the park, while negotiations are still on.

Dear friends, I request all our people to take a positive reading.
In my opinion I think this blog is to post any new/latest news about our Trichy (Navalpattu) IT park, so that many of the people of interest, who doesn’t get either opportunity or time to read, will aware about that. Also I think there is no restriction that the positive news of our IT Park only shall be posted here.
So please just read & update the latest status of our IT Park. It may be either an Araicha mavu or a Pulicha mavu. News is the news in the mass media.
Thanks for your co-operation.
April 10, 2008 at 6:02 AM
Hi all,
I wonder, whether IT park will come in Navalpattu and if it comes how long it will take to complete, and if it is completed, how many companies will occupy ?
April 10, 2008 at 9:22 AM
One major drawback at Trichy is non availability of good 5 star hotels.Many top executives both foreigners and indians complain about the poor service at sangam or breeze.This will be the case with pilots also.Tourists may be satisfied with these hotels but not IT pros.In these areas Madurai and Covai are scoring over Try.But investors think Try can not support 5 star hotels.
April 10, 2008 at 11:20 AM
Hey Tiruchiians,
Here is the link to see the latest status of the IT-Park land allotted by ELCOT

TIRUCHI – A LAND OF PROSPERITY FOR A BRIGHT TOMORROW
Lets join and hail TIRUCHI !!!!
April 10, 2008 at 11:21 AM
Until we have a good number of quality 3 and 4 star hotels and atleast 1 or 2 five star hotels, tourists and tourist agencies will arrange their trip in such a way that they have over night stay in Madurai. The hospitality sector in Trichy can thrive and prosper only when we can retain the tourists atleast for a couple of days or more.
I saw in a blog that already 2nd 5 star hotel is under construction and a 3rd one planned in Madurai. Also Coimbatore is attracting some investment in the hospitality sector.
April 10, 2008 at 11:27 AM
The union govt had recently announced that new hotels established in the next five years in a district with a world cultural heritage site will get 5 yrs tax holiday. And our neighbour district Thanjavur qualifies under this category.
But this could be a disadvantage for us as new hotels which would have other wise come up in Trichy would instead come up in Thanjavur. Im wondering how this will affect the hospitality sector of Trichy in the coming years.
April 10, 2008 at 1:40 PM
Guys,
Dependency on State & Central Govt on Industrial sector and not having local entrepruners is a biggest setback for trichy. Without such investors, no city can get good Hotels, domestic air connectivity etc…
With big ticket pvt.investment flowing into neighbouring cities every month and the speed currently ELCOT works, I really wonder the dream of IT in trichy will become reality in next 4-5 years. ELCOT Quoting high value for land price is again a setback.
Lets hope atleast the companies who got the land allocated in Trichy SEZ to commence their operation without delay.
Cheers,
Ram
April 10, 2008 at 3:01 PM
I remember the cities in TN had ranked like this 1. Chennai 2.Coimbatore 3. Madurai 4.Trichy
But the 4th spot, can now be easily taken by Salem…
Among all the cities in TN..I think Trichy is not very aggressive in its improvement. Rest all the cities are improving quite faster than Trichy.
Atleast in coming election, let us represent an eligible MP.
April 11, 2008 at 6:21 AM
As you say, Salem may overtake Trichy soon. Almost all other cities are getting industrial investments, SEZ etc. But in trichy district, except the industrial expansion of the existing industries nothing new is started.
Perambalur SEZ is 60 or 70 kms away from city, MRF proposed facility will be in perambalur district, Rane investment is in pukukottai which is close to trichy 25 kms.
Dont know what our MP or MLA are doing for the city, except distributing free TV sets using the tax providers money to make people lazy.
April 11, 2008 at 7:11 AM
I want to know the exact location where Tidel Park will be located at trichy. is it near Thuvakkudi,OFT areas r perambalur?
please send me clear rply
April 11, 2008 at 7:25 AM
Trichy MP is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Giving u free vetti, sattai, jatty, thoondu, podavai, ul pavadai etc…………
So……………why should I work???????????????????????
April 11, 2008 at 8:00 AM
Ascendas Singapore Ltd(Who is owning INternational Technology Parks in Bangalore & Chennai) Investing in Coimbatore in 53 Acres, Going to invest More than 1000 Crores. Nanguneri Multiproduct SEZ is signed, They are going to Kick start the work in a week. Still no investment news about Trichy, MP Raja(IT Minister) is not doing anything. MLAs are worrying about next year Elections
April 11, 2008 at 9:52 AM
IT minister is doing good work for his constituency perambalur. He is bringing new industries, medical college, new buildings etc in perambalur. Even he may influence his power to move some projects from trichy to his constituency.
New projects in chennai, cbe, erode, madurai, tirunelveli. No much developement in trichy except the IT SEZ which is again influced too much towards madurai, tirunelvel.
Still trichy is developing just because of the existing Entrepreneurs who are really doing a good job in developing their business.
April 13, 2008 at 11:25 AM
I was having great hopes on Mr. Raja, when he became the IT minister. But as you said he has been instrumental in bringing projects to Perambalur. I would be very dissappointed if those investments were actually redirected to Perambalur from Trichy by his influence.
April 14, 2008 at 5:59 AM
Hi Manish garg,
Please talk about Trichy in this blog, since this is purley dedicated to Trichy in TN. We are happy to see your enthusiasm in developments.
April 14, 2008 at 8:37 AM
So, next in line, Mr.Raja will shift the Trichy airport to Perambalur??????????????????????
April 17, 2008 at 12:48 AM
Dear friends, here is a news that our Trichy IT Park in Navalpattu is pushed to the last priority, as Madurai gets inauguration in few weeks. CM announced in TN Assembly to the questions of Madurai MLA.
I suggest & request this forum of high interest could form a delegation to Tiruverumbur MLA, MP & Local Ministers to insist our demand. Same point I remembered, our friends proposed earlier here. Kindly apologize I could not participate as I am away from India right now.
One more humble request is that please avoid criticizing the MLAs, MPs and Ministers, at least in this forum. I am really afraid this forum should not be misused by the intruders or persons belong to parties who don’t like the present MLA, MP & Ministers. It is a simple logic that they may get irritated of those adverse comments. Please think only our goal. Let us only try to get the advantageous out of their power.
I would like to reinstate that the above comment is not against the persons, who earlier criticized the politicians in this forum. So I request them not to counter or argue about this point and don’t waste our time on these unnecessary arguments.
Thanks for your cooperation & participation.

I am sick of these guys too.They have no knowledge about Trichy but talk all trash here.Anyway, their comments is not going to stop the growth of our city.Also lets not get provoked by these guys.
April 17, 2008 at 8:54 AM
Dear friends, I am not coming back just from some where. For your information I am belongs to Trichy and my house is very close to Navalpattu IT park, in Annanagar Housing unit and also in Central Bus Stand. I have lot many interest to Develop our Trichy City than any body else who gave some false comments here. I am here in Trichy since 1968, since then doing lot of public service for our city. It is not that I should publish every thing in this blog.
So I request you, just for shake of publicity don’t give any foolish comments like this.
In my post # 725, can any body tell it is against of Trichy interest?.
Thanks in advance for your understanding.

ELCOT is sabotaging proposed Trichy IT PARK??????????????????????
April 19, 2008 at 7:00 AM
Peronally, I would like to see 10 companies taking 100 acres rather than 2 taking 100 acres.With 10 companies we have options while we dont have with 2 companies.
If you see the Trichy IT park layout,most of the lands marked are small.They are in the range from 2 to 15 acres only.
So,with land rate at 25 lacs,Trichy IT park could see more number of companies investing but for less space. In a 3 or 5 acres companies can easily build a 5 or 6 storey building.
April 19, 2008 at 9:56 AM
Kumar- I agree your point. Similar land allocations happened in other neighbouring cities too.
CBE- (28 Acres – Tidel, Wipro, TCS and HCL)
MDU- (28 Acres – Tidel, HCL, Tessolve, HW and SGT).
But I’m wondering If Illadikulam and Trichy SEZ have quoted for same amount, companies like HCL should have opted trichy for 5-10 acres and the rest to MDU (Vadapalanji) rather than taking land at two places in MDU itself.
Is ELCOT prioritizing to sell MDU first???
-Ram
April 19, 2008 at 2:32 PM
I think Elcot is playing a silly marketing trick here…they somehow want to sell the least bothered lands first…hence they raised the price of Trichy showing the buyer that economically it is feasible to buy a land in MDU…
They clearly know…Trichy is a hot cake…so they are just pushing other cities like MDU!
April 19, 2008 at 2:45 PM
Is it purely ELCOT to be blamed alone for such tactics? Personally, don’t think so. Surely,there are other elements of political ploy here, which only the politicians know well.
However, whatever ploy these people may apply, Trichy’s potential value can never be deminished, due to great number of advantages it posessed.
April 19, 2008 at 3:28 PM
Did you guys note the difference from IT park land in Trichy and other cities. I think its the location of the IT park close to airport, city and on a 4 lane highway is making all the difference.
April 21, 2008 at 11:16 AM
elumalai and Trichy guy
I dont know why this ram_usa is just thinking only infy,satam and tcs are the only players in it sector. I believe a lot of small and medium sized it cos in this sector will have a great future in coming years as govt is thinking to give tax consession to the small and medium size it cos.
I think Trihy will surely attarct those mid size cos. Allotment of land is not main criteria to compare, lets us wait and see whether those biggies commence their operations in madurai ahead of trichy.
April 21, 2008 at 11:21 AM
i also heard that a 80 ft road directly from airport to Navalpattu is under finalisaion. i.e adjacent to airport, If is approved, (we dont have to go till that eng college 4 kms and turn into 120 ft road- 4 kms ) i hope trichy it park wil be the only place which is very short distance about 4 kms from internaitional airport. I think trichy has this advantage. views please
April 21, 2008 at 11:42 AM
Chitru- Don’t try to create your own stories on others comment. Get you facts before you comment on others. Can you tell me where I told only HCL,TCS are the only IT companies?
The URL is provided by You. I’m speaking on what is available officially in that website. I’m not here to debate/defend with useless statements. If you think SMEs can get allotted in TRY, provide valid sources and I’m happy to see such developments.
–Ram
April 21, 2008 at 3:27 PM
I always provide valid info’s. I am not here to write stories.i jus want to tell you that lands not taken by satyam and wipro is not an end of tirchy IT story. if not satyam and tcs
tech Mah, MindTree, Rolta, Polaris and Subex r , Hexaware etc., in Mid Cap IT sector may also book space in trichy just wait and see . dont jump into conclusions and say that trichy it park has not been booked because of higher price. Price is high only becuase of demand.
April 21, 2008 at 4:58 PM
Chitru-Is your last comment (#741) anyway related to the ELCOT URL you provided for land allocation discussion?? If you have valid facts, comeup or just keep-off rather than deviating the topic with X is coming Y is coming…It worth nothing.
May I know the reliable source for those companies you mentioned saying trichy is in their pipeline??. Doesn’t it sounds like your own assumption??
I would love to see my city having all those companies you mentioned. But a reliable source is required. Otherwise it looks like another hype.
I couldn’t resist keeping quite onyour last comment “Price is high due to demand”. With just two companies confirming 20 acres is called demand?? Don’t you know both MDU and TRY IT Parks initiated more or less at the same time???
What’s wrong with my question on asking why ELCOT had not convinced HCL to take land in TRY rather than taking land in Two places at MDU when the rate is same at both TRY and MDU??? This is a QUESTION I raised and not my CONCLUSION.
Anyway, I would like to stop here replying for you IMMATURED comments. Thanks for your time.

April 21, 2008 at 9:06 PM
HCL got land in Madurai, because Shiv NADAR’s (Proprietor of HCL) native place is MAdurai. That is the main reason, HCL is setting up major IT facilities in Madurai and small one in Trichy.
April 21, 2008 at 10:29 PM
Shiv Nadar is from Thiruchendur in Tuticorin district. Then why did he not apply for land in Tirunelveli IT park near Tuticorin ?. If cost was an issue why was Trichy unable to attract HCL, Honeywell and Tessolve which bought land in Ilandhaikulam in Madurai. The cost of land there is same as that of Navalpattu.
The Navalpattu IT park land is closer to airport, city and will be on 4 lane highway when compared to Vadapalanji in Madurai which is comparitively far away from city, airport and on a 2 lane highway. But was able to 115 acre of land while Navalpattu sold only 20 acres.

Hi Trichy Guy, How do you know, Navalpattu only sold 20 acres?
April 23, 2008 at 10:19 PM
Just go through all the post you will find it. HCL and CTS got 10 acres each and guess sutherland got 2 acres.
April 25, 2008 at 11:38 AM
Its so absurd to see how tamil dailies report news. How on earth will AAI spend 1590 crores for expansion of Madurai airport. It must be 159 crores i guess. Already i had posted some pics from another blog on the construction of terminal at Madurai, so i guess MK is coming for namesake foundation laying ceremony.
It would have been nice if he also came to Trichy on the way and laid foundation stone for Trichy IT park. We have to wait some more months to get his appointment, but in the mean time MK will go and watch IPL cricket match, introduce new variety of saree in Chennai and have time for all other stuffs except to come down to Trichy. What a shame.
April 25, 2008 at 11:52 AM
Sorry Trichy Guy you are right. Now I checked again it shows 150 Crores only. I don’t know how it happens. I just copied here. Thanks for your correction.
April 27, 2008 at 3:12 PM
DEAR FRIENDS,
I LOVE TRICHY VERY MUCH. IT IS NOT GETTING ITS IMPORTANCE DUE TO IT, SIMPLY BECAUSE PRESENT DAY POLITICIANS ARE NOT FAVOURING THIS GREAT, ANCIENT CITY. AS IT IS SURVIVED FOR MORE THAN 3000 YEARS, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF IT DOES NOT GET SOME PROJECTS IMMEDIATELY.
FIRSTLY, SOME PEOPLE BLOCKED SRIRANGAM JOINING TRICHY CORPORATION INITIALLY. AFTER SOMETIMS, THIS GOT MATERIALISED. EARLIER, SOME PEOPLE STOPPED TRICHY ATTAINING CLASS A CITY STATUS SIMPLY BY EXCLUDING BHEL AND SURROUNDING AREAS AS PART OF TRICHY CORPORATION. I UNDERSTAND THAT CENTRAL GOVERNMENT IS CONSIDERING TO CLASSIFY SOME MORE CITIES AS CLASS A. I HOPE TRICHY IS INCLUDED NOW.
ELETRIFICATION OF TRICHY LINE WAS LONG OVERDUE. BY NECESSITY, IT IS BEING DONE NOW.
TRICHY POEOPLE LIKE TO SEE THE GROWTH OF ALL CITIES.
GROWTH OF TRICHY CAN BE DELAYED BUT NEVER CAN BE STOPPED.
April 28, 2008 at 3:53 PM
Well said Murarlee, thanks for your positive toughts. Due to its geographic location, our city will definitely get every thing by itself, but question of time.

Malaysian budget airline AirAsia will fly daily to the south Indian city of Trichy from Kuala Lumpur effective October.
The two-way flight will cost RM400 (INR 5130/- as on today rate) inclusive of airport tax. AirAsia chief executive officer Datuk Tony Fernandez made this announcement in an exclusive interview with Makkal Osai published yesterday. The Star quoted him as saying that the flights would provide more opportunities for budget travelers to fly to India.

Our CM is requesting IT companies to start in Madurai or Tirunelveli. Does anyone request to start an IT company in Trichy. Even if an IT company want to start in Trichy, it may get moved to some southern cities due to such political pressure.
Trichy doesnt have a SEZ other than the IT SEZ which too dont know whether it will start or not. While chennai has got around 30 SEZ and almost every month we can see a new SEZ starting in chennai.
May 2, 2008 at 7:23 AM
This clearly shows the reason for IT companies taking space in Madurai IT park. I am not against it, but not at the expense of Trichy or other cities.Anyway, still many IT companies out there are looking for talent and lets hope these companies come to Trichy.
May 6, 2008 at 7:55 PM
Is there any new news about Trichy IT Park/ITES?
May 18, 2008 at 2:11 AM
Trichy guy, when govt and ELCOT have personally requested IT companies to go to Madurai or Tirunelveli, there is no big deal in allotment of land to these cities.
May 18, 2008 at 10:13 PM
When we had the govt support in the past we got International connections from Trichy airport even before two bigger cities Coimbatore and Madurai. We got REC(NIT), BHEL etc. And now it seems its the turn of the southern cities(Madurai and Tirunelveli).
We have to take the blame on ourselves. Its all got to do with the politicians we elect from our region.
Its very sad to see that only 22 acres have been allotted at Trichy.
May 18, 2008 at 10:16 PM
A.Kumar, i am asking you the same question. If you feel govt is biased in its approach, then why didnt our city attract a single private IT SEZ. Doesnt that show that Trichy isn’t as attractive an IT destination as Coimbatore or Madurai which have private IT SEZs.
May 19, 2008 at 1:48 AM
Hey Trichy guy, r u aware that to have private IT SEZ, U still need government approval??????????????????????????
So, in this case, Trichy as u say, does not have the government support for now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And not Trichy being unattractive in any form of investments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Otherwise, Trichy will definitely lure all would be investors, if government supports all out, leaving a major part of the southern states lying barren!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 19, 2008 at 8:00 AM
The central IT minister Mr. Raja and state transport minister Mr. K.N Nehru are from Trichy area. There are a few more high profile MLA’s from the region. If these people cannot get the govt attention, then whats the use in us electing them.
When we had the govt support in the past we got International connections from Trichy airport even before two bigger cities Coimbatore and Madurai. We got REC(NIT), BHEL etc. And now it seems its the turn of the southern cities.

May 20, 2008 at 4:12 PM
Trichy guy, if Trichy is not a preferred IT destination then
1.How come numerous small and medium IT companies are operating from Trichy??
2.How can Trichy contribute to TN software exports??
Here is the link for Trichy’s contribution to software export
http://www.chennaibest.com/Articles/TNs%20software.asp
Why no Madurai in the above list?
The private IT SEZ announed their plans in Coimbatore or Madurai only after IT companies like HCL,Satyam,TCS,Wipro announced their plans for above cities.So once ELCOT and IT companies propose their plans for Trichy, then its question of time before private IT SEZ announce their plans.
May 20, 2008 at 4:58 PM
Trichy guy, Trichy is surviving developing because of its strategic location and not because of any govt support.
The airport and the railway were built by the british because of Trichy’s central location.If the British havent built,then we wouldnt have seen an airport or the Trichy railway division(former headquarters of south indian railway).
The international operation was started by Air Lanka in early 1980’s and not by any indian airlines.
On the other hand govt has done nothing to develop the airport until recently.Even now its AAI which is pushing for development and not the govt.
The highways in Trichy are being upgraded because its passing through Trichy(again its location) and not because of any govt support.
The only support Trichy got from the govt is for BHEL,NIT.BHEL was suppose to go to Kerala but then CM Kamarajar and industry minister Venkatraman brought it to Tamilnadu and then to Trichy because of its central location.
Since then successive govt’s till today have ignored Trichy and not supported in the development.
Trichy baically is developing own its own without any major support from the govt.
May 28, 2008 at 2:27 PM
Till this day may,08 , there is no symptom of IT Park Coming to Trichy.
The land price has been increase to many fold.
If any knows the fate of Trichy , please let us know.

June 16, 2008 at 7:07 AM
Here is the content…
NEW DELHI: The IT industry’s footprint looks set to expand beyond its existing homes.
Faced with a challenge from upstarts threatening to erode India’s low-cost appeal, the government is planning to build 43 new information technology cities across the country to retain its top dog status in the business and to be in a position to tap the huge surge in demand for IT-enabled services over the next 10 years.
The move comes at a time when the rising infrastructure and employee costs in big cities is threatening to blunt India’s crucial cost advantage.
While India has held on to its pre-eminent position, its IT and BPO companies are losing their global cost advantage with the emergence of countries like Vietnam and the Philippines, which offer similar services at cheaper rates and are threatening India’s status as the world’s back office.
As the allure of BPO jobs goes down and attrition rates go up, companies are increasingly finding it difficult to recruit quality employees in the big cities. Also of concern is infrastructure constraints in Bangalore, Gurgaon and elsewhere.
The plan to build brand new towns is designed to address some of these issues. It is felt that these new towns will provide a steady supply of workers besides being specifically geared towards the needs of the IT and BPO sectors.
The proposal, suggested by a high-level group on service sector, has been cleared by the Planning Commission. “The modalities for the ambitious plan will be finalized very soon,” a source said.
According to the plan, each IT city will be set up in an area of more than 500 hectare. The cities will altogether generate employment for around 3.5 million people by 2018.
The proposal is to create self-contained satellite townships with commercial space for renting and a commensurate increase in residential accommodation, education, healthcare, retail and recreational facilities.
“Improvement in infrastructure is very important to ensure the continued competitiveness of IT and BPO industries,” an official said while explaining the rationale behind the move.
At present, the major volume of IT-enabled services is concentrated in seven cities — Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Gurgaon and Noida. Government estimates point out that 95% of the IT and BPO service industry is in these cities, with around 36% of services concentrated in Bangalore alone.
According to officials, the IT and BPO business in the country is likely to grow by 2.5 times in the next 10 years. The growth cannot be absorbed in major cities.
As infrastructure in major cities is already under tremendous strain, the IT sector has started migrating to smaller cities. However, the volume of business in the IT sector likely to come to India is huge which even tier II & III towns are unlikely to handle, considering poor infrastructure.
Under the ambitious proposal, the government plans to shift 40% of the business to the upcoming 43 cities by 2018.
The new towns will be properly planned and laid out and endowed with modern infrastructure and good connectivity to the big cities and airports.
These townships will have residential and work areas with all essential services – water supply, power, civic amenities, health, education, transport and entertainment – to meet the civic and commercial needs of the workforce.
The Centre has sought the support of state governments in facilitating creation of these new towns. The proposal suggests that the towns will be developed by private players and state governments will ensure trunk services like electricity, water supply, sewage and drainage.

It is Very Unfortunate that a person like Umashanker ,MD of ELCOT ( where T stands for Tamilnadu and NOT Tirunvelli) is biased and wants to develop other cities in TN before Trichy. He is NOT a MLA or MP of a particular city to think and do good for that city only
It should be an open competition , but to cities which are less attractive give them more incentives and it should be this way the companies should be allowed to choose.
As a Trichian i am happy to see good developments in and around Trichy and for the second time i want appreciate a good political leader for Trichy – Mr. Nehru after Mr.Kumaramangalam who would have turned Trichy to a real supercity had he been alive.
I hope Mr.Nehru continues his fight for the development of Trichy and Thanks to Mr.Ponmudi for announcing first the IIM to Trichy.
I also wish Dr.MK announces lot of Goodies for Trichy including the IT park inauguration.
June 25, 2008 at 5:24 AM
Here is a news from Business Standard dated 20th June 08 about the Trichy IT Park… From the below story it seems that the Development of Trichy IT park is purposely delayed…
BPOs and IT firms fully occupy Trichy IT park
BS Reporter / Trichy June 20, 2008, 17:40 IST
The up coming IT Park at Trichy spread across 147 acres of land near Navalpattu village is booked in full by BPOs and IT companies. According to sources from ELCOT (Electronic Corporation of Tamil Nadu who is the promoters of the park) two major IT companies and about 15 BPOs would occupy the park in full complement as the first phase of the project.
The IT major CTS (Cognizant Technology Solutions) and Sutherland Global Services are the two top ranking companies slated to occupy major share of the land and ELCOT was already in the process of handing over the site to Sutherland and the substantial land had been year marked to CTS.
Besides the above the predominant occupants of the park would be BPOs numbering about 15 each allocated areas of 2 acres and above.
Simultaneously ELCOT would be organizing to construct built up space of 15000 square feet in the first phase and as well two million square feet built up area at a site of 50-acre area in the park as a joint venture with the private entity.
It already reported that the IT Park at Trichy had inherited the status of special economic zone with a gazette notification by Government of India and the ELCOT board had formerly approved for the construction of internal roads and other amenities at an outlay of Rs.25 crores.
ELCOT was also preparing a budget for the construction of a perimeter wall for the park and it was waiting for a hundred feet link road to be handed over by the state highways along the Trichy – Pudukottai highways.
It was clearly known that the postponement of unveiling the IT Park project at Trichy is getting delayed since ELCOT was keen to market Tirunelveli and Salem before embarking on capturing adequate occupants at Trichy since Trichy being geographically accessible in Tamil Nadu, agog with air connectivity etc thanks to the modernization of the airport which was very close to the Navalpattu Park near Trichy.

NASSCOM gives a negative report on IT in Tricy 😦
The study, which was released Thursday, said graduates from Trichy and Salem prefer to migrate to bigger cities like Chennai, Coimbatore and Madurai rather than working in their home towns.
Trichy and Salem suffer from infrastructure, connectivity and social life inadequacies, it added.

July 3, 2008 at 3:06 PM
Kaveri,
Do not project only negative report.
The same report also projected some negative report about coimbatore, madurai and some positive report about trichy. see below contect
According to the report, companies that intend to set up operations in Coimbatore and Madurai have to contend with the absence of good quality hotels, good commercial space, limited public transport in peripheral areas and steep increase in real estate and labour costs.
The report recommended Coimbatore, Trichy, Salem and Madurai as ideal places for non-voice domestic BPO operations.
Coimbatore could be pitched as an alternative site for Chennai and Bangalore for IT, non-voice BPO units and Tamil language call centres while Trichy can attract small to medium-scale IT and non-voice international and domestic BPO operations, it added.

Some recent News about BPO potential… from Deccan Herald
South beats north in BPO penetration
Deccan Herald, Bangalore, 11 June, 2008
Nasscom, while discussing the potential in Tier II and Tier III cities at Nasscom-BPO Summit in City, revealed that cities in South India has more penetration of BPO companies than cities in the North.
“The penetration is much higher due to availability of better physical infrastructure facilities, higher internet penetration and social infrastructure facilities,” said Chairman Nasscom Ganesh Natarajan.
“Added to the above include money inflow into BPO employees’ family has increased in turn bettering their standard of living and the economy at large. This has improved the social life in South unlike North,” he said.
However, in South, Tamil Nadu is leading the race. The state has facilitated a better penetration into Tier II and III cities, said Infosys Senior Vice President & Head — India Business Unit Binod H R.
“Tamil Nadu has a robust plan in place and houses large number of engineering graduates in India, unlike Karnataka which lacks such a framework” he added, concuring Natarajan said Tamil Nadu has good infrastructure, which has infused this growth. The Nasscom- A.T Kearney study indicates that based on their stage of development for IT-BPO, the locations can be categorized into four groups— Leader, Challenger, Follower and Aspirants.
Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad are classified Leaders. Coimbatore, Kochi, Madurai, Mangalore, Thiruvananthapuram, Tiruchirapalli, and Visakhapatnam as Challengers.

Air deccan has cancelled its flights to bagalore will this affect the IT future of trichy?. The flights to chennai are also not in convenient timings.
Everyone in the IT industry point out connectivity issue as the main disadvantage for not prefering trichy. When will this change?.
July 4, 2008 at 1:17 PM
Once additional CISF staff is added at Trichy airport, we could see airlines starting evening flights or rescheduling the existing flights which IT industry is looking for.
I assume Mr K.N.Nehru has said the proposal for additional CISF at Trichy airport would be apporved in a weeks time.
July 4, 2008 at 3:21 PM
Thank you for the reply Kumar. What about no flight connectivity to bangalore?. Most of the software companies have the HQ at bangalore. When this disadvantage of trichy change?. Do any airline plan to start to bangalore flight.

Here is a news from “Times of India” about Indian IT Industry
IT jobs to grow ten fold
25 Jul, 2008, 0929 hrs IST,TNN
NEW DELHI: “Indian IT industry may be passing through a rough patch because of a slowdown in the US economy and high inflation rates, but this stage will pass,” says a study.
The study elaborates, “India will continue to drive the global IT market for the next few years. In fact, it will emerge as the second most important IT industry in the world after the US in terms of revenue and employment.”
“India will create the second largest IT services labour pool after the US within the next seven to eight years. That’s not all, domestic IT industry’s contribution to our GDP is likely to rise from 0.8 per cent in 2006-07 to 2.65 per cent by 2015-16.”
This has been forecasted by a yet to be released white paper ‘India’s Role in the Globalization of the IT Industry’ by Evalueserve, a KPO. It says, “by 2015-2016, the number of professionals working in the IT industry will grow ten fold (from 2001-2002) and the total revenue will grow 22 times.”
This means, the IT industry is likely to employ 3,750,000 professionals and record $193.1 billion in revenue by 2015-16.
“Since India’s GDP is growing at 8.5 per cent per annum in real terms and 14 per cent in nominal terms, by 2015-16 our GDP is likely to be $2,400 billion. Given this, the IT industry is likely to constitute 8.05 per cent of India’s GDP.”
While in the last decade, IT services exports (including engineering services, R&D, and those related to creating and maintaining software products) have been growing at 32 per cent annually.
Evalueserve estimates this growth rate will taper off and become around 20 per cent in the next seven to eight years. The reason: rising wages, lack of high quality talent, and IT jobs relocating to other low-cost destinations in Eastern Europe and Latin America.
The paper thus concludes: First, by 2016 India will have the second highest number of IT professionals in the world after the US. In fact, US will employ between 1.25 to 1.33 times more professionals than India.
Second, even in 2016, the US IT industry will generate approximately $810 billion in annual revenue, which would be almost five times the revenue of the Indian IT industry.
And third, since the IT industries in both the US and India have become inextricably linked with one another, both countries will import and export more IT services and products for the next seven to eight years.

Elcot to build 50,000 sq ft of office space
http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2008/07/19/stories/2008071952502100.htm
August 3, 2008 at 1:55 AM
Excerpt from the above #802- This has been forecasted by a yet to be released white paper ‘India’s Role in the Globalization of the IT Industry’ by Evalueserve, a KPO. It says, “by 2015-2016, the number of professionals working in the IT industry will grow ten fold (from 2001-2002) and the total revenue will grow 22 times.”
——–> This tenfold growth is the growth projected by 2015-16 compared to 2001-02. But there is no projections by 2016 compared from this year …None can correctly predict this given the slowdown in the global financial industry .
But one thing for sure is , All the Tier II Cities will have more IT/ITES companies in future.

BPO firms chant cost cutting mantra

The financial crisis that roiled Wall Street is now beginning to affect many business process outsourcing (BPO) firms doing business with big banking firms.
Outsourcers are experimenting with all options to survive the slowdown which includes cost cutting and cheaper workforce.
Salient Business Solutions, part of the $3 billion Avantha Group, is trying to play the volume game by pushing up the number of transactions in the same billing rate.
“Typically if we were charging the client for 10 minutes per transaction, we would now be doing the same transaction in 6 or 7 minutes, so the 3 minutes we save goes to our account and that improves our margins,” said Manoj Malhotra, CEO, Salient.
But while productivity measures may not work for all, Convergys India is experiencing a slowdown in salaries.
Some of the bigger BPOs like Genpact are even planning to shift centers to tier II cities to leverage the cost advantages.
“When you move to tier II towns, your infrastructure and transportation costs are lower. Thus, yu can spread your functional and overhead costs because of larger base,” remarked Pramod Bhasin, CEO, Genpact.
Outsourcing companies are also betting on different talent pools to cut costs like hiring cheaper workforce from tier II cities where wages are almost 30 to 40 per cent lower, as compared to the metropolitans.
The companies are also looking to push the work from home concept and tapping the immobile talent like handicaps which can offer relatively cheaper workforce.

Guys,
@present IT Park in Trichy is dream only. Seems lot of companies not occupied in chennai and Coimbatore. Due to the slowdown in this Industry it will take minimum 2-3 years to stabilise.
Students , please concentrate your job search in big cities like chennai,Pune,Banglaore …..
We hope for the best
January 25, 2009 at 5:39 PM
All looked good when ELCOT has announced these Govt IT Parks . Many of the fertile lands were transacted for crores . Global Slowdown has played spoil sport . Nothing seems to come to Trichy unless the Govt announces some tax concessions . Pathetic the situations in Madurai and Tirunelveli .
Only advantage is , few politicians have made huge money in Real Estate business .

Any news updates on Trichy IT PArk?
September 21, 2009 at 6:44 PM
Electronic Corporation of Tamil Nadu (ELCOT) reviewed the conditions for commencement of work at the IT Park in Navalpattu here earlier this week.
Marg Constructions, which has been entrusted with the task of constructing ELCOT’s 50,000 square feet IT building in a two-acre plot on the 147.61 acre IT Park premises, has started its preparatory work in order to complete the project by the end of May 2010. According to official sources, work on creation of common infrastructure facilities and construction of IT space will progress simultaneously.
The ELCOT has conducted meetings with the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board and the Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage Board. The TNEB has been provided with five acres of land to set up a 110 kv sub-station and the TWAD Board is exploring feasibility to provide 3MLD (million litres per day) water.
Official sources informed that the Highways Department had initiated steps to take over the 120 feet road linking the IT Park to the Tiruchi-Pudukkottai Highway for four-laning work. Construction of an 80-feet road from the IT Park to the Tiruchi-Thanjavur Highway, via Sholamadevi, is also on ELCOT’s agenda.
The State Government had alienated the land to ELCOT, and the Centre accorded Special Economic Zone (SEZ) status for the Tiruchi IT Park and duly notified the same in the Gazette on March 12, 2008.
Subsequently, the ELCOT allotted 10 acres of land to Sutherland Global Services. A similar extent of land has been earmarked for Cognizant Technology Solutions and two acres of land made available for HCL.
While other bigger players have adopted a ‘wait and watch’ approach, smaller IT companies have patronised the IT Park well. The entire IT space had been booked, a senior official said, observing that the prospects for cutting down operational costs, proximity to the international airport, and scope for nil attrition were vital factors favouring Tiruchi as an ideal IT destination. These companies have pinned hopes on the Southern Railway for operation of additional day-time express trains exclusively between Tiruchi and Chennai to foster their growth. According to an ELCOT publication, upon completion, the IT Park was expected to provide employment to 20,000 candidates directly and to 60,000 candidates indirectly.
